help please!

Can anyone guide me to adding a photo to a cache description. I have tried to add one through the upload images icon but I just get my picture added as an icon. I want it in the main description. Where am I going wrong?? Any advice please!

Click on that image icon and it should open the image. Copy the web address for the image.

Then in your main description type the following;

<img src="url" >

with the image address where URL is between brackets. (Eg <img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/e6f4f870-04db-4074-b6df-db2720aceaec.jpg" > should work)

Makes sure the HTML checkbox is ticked.

If you wish, you can then delete that icon from your page, the image itself will still exist at the web-address you copied.

Managed the photo now but still need more help...I need guidance on editing my listing.. I only know how to type in text.. I need paragraph spaces and things like that.
I have seen lots of caches where people have done scrolling FTF messages in differant colours where can I learn to do tricks like that?

Any guidance much appreciated many thanks

for scrolling text

<marquee><font color="red">text here</font></marquee></p>

note color and not colour change red to colour of your choice eg blue green ....

also

<marquee behavior="alternate"><font color="red">text here</font></marquee>

with this it will move side to side instead of scrolling

other
<center> = Think you will know

<br> = line break

<p> = new paragraph

have a look at this website

This might be a good website for some cache page / HTML basics.

Another great way to learn (once you get the hang of it) is to look at the source code for listings you like the look at. You'll have to scroll past some stuff, but you will see the HTML as set by a CO (It's the way I started to learn it all when I wanted to get more creative with my listings).

You can also set up a listing test page to play around with such things (just don't hit publish, and label it as a test page for the reviewers, who can still see such things), that way you don't need to play with any existing listings.
