How to make a signature photo a clickable link?

Zeddo · Jan 12, 2015

I've uploaded a photo of my book cover from my computer. I'd like to make the link clickable so it would go to the Amazon listing for the book.

The signature photo shows in this post. The target url is miles long: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1432830694/?tag=absowrit-20

(When I preview this post, the complete Amazon url doesn't show.)

I'd appreciate any help anyone can give.

Thanks,
Zeddo

Around the image code, all you need to add is:

Code:

<URL="link">image code</URL>

Where you replace the angle brackets with brackets.

Yep yep, what Alina said.

Not that it matters, but Amazon links can usually be shrunk to include just the unique book id after /dp/ e.g.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/1432830694

Your image (in your sigline) is called http://absolutewrite.com/forums/signaturepics/sigpic61054_2.gif

So you'd build this into a clickable link by putting the Amazon URL inside url tags, and the image URL inside img tags, nested inside the url tags, e.g.:

[url=http://www.amazon.com/dp/1432830694][img]http://absolutewrite.com/forums/signaturepics/sigpic61054_2.gif[/img][/url]
