How do I turn a picture I have into an HTML graphics code?

I have a picture that I use for all my backgrounds on my machines, and would like it turned into an HTML graphic code. DO I need a special program to do that? Or would someone be willing to do it for me if I send them the picture? Im a little computer illiterate, I am sure it shows. I am trying to get my favorit oicture to be my background for my myspace page, but am really unsure as to how to do it. I could use a lot of help. I know some people have had their own picture postedd as their backgrounds, so it made me interested in making my picture my background. Tinkchick, that only posts it to my blog, I am wanting to make it my full background if it is even possible. Thanks, the second link did exactly what I wanted to do.

  1. There is no such thing as converting it to graphic code. You upload the graphic to the same site at your home page and then refer to it in the html. For example to display a picture. <img id="mypicture" src="picture.jpg" alt="My Picture" /> For background wallpaper. <body background="image.jpg">
  2. Explain further what you mean by "html graphic code". Normally you do not have to do any kind of coversion of a picture. You simple insert it in the web page just as it is. If you are trying to do more than just "show" the picture, explain what you are trying to do and we can help you. But it is probably going to be a line of code on the web page, not a conversion of the picture.
  3. I think the first two people have it right, but I think i know what you mean, maybe. Do you want to have a picture, but broken up into smaller pictures that, when assembled, make up one big picture? If that's the case you have to make in image map I believe. Or, take the picture, cut it in sections, then make an image map where each section is a graphic. I'd like to learn how to do that myself. But, if you mean just use the image as a background, you might have to learn a little HTML coding. There are high-end and low-end programs out there, but it's helpful to know the basics or you'll get too spoiled and not know how to hard-code.
  4. No you don't need a special program to convert it to a code what you have to do is first make sure you know where the picture is saved ie, desktop,my pictures etc. Once you know where that is you have to upload it a hosting site a good one where you don't have to register is http://imageshack.us/ Once you load the site you'll see the browse button option, make sure the default option of upload a file is still selected. You click on browse its going to take you to your picture folder so try to make sure its saved there you click on the picture you want and press the option open. It'll take you back to the orginal screen but you'll see the locaton of your item in the box next to browse that was orginally empty. If its not a huge file after you click on host it, after a few moments it'll take you to another screen with the picture showing andthats when you'll see the html codes which you'd copy and paste where you need to put them. It even tells you which one you'd use for where you're using it. Oh well go to this site same rules apply. http://www.picgames.com/forum/myspace-image-help.php
