Using an icon for a link

For those who wish to make a graphical link to this year's Math Awareness Month website, we provide four sizes of images.

	File name: Logo150x150.gif File size: 12 K Image size (pixels): W:150, H:150
	File name: Logo100x100.gif File size: 8 K Image size (pixels): W:100, H: 100
	File name: Logo75x75.gif File size: 8 K Image size (pixels): W:75, H:75
	File name: Logo50x50.gif File size: 4 K Image size pixels: W: 50, H: 50

Instructions

1. Download the image:
   Netscape: Right-click on the image, choose "Save Image As," browse to find the folder in which your web pages are stored, and save it there.
   Internet Explorer: Right-click on the image, choose "Save Picture As," browse to find the folder in which your web pages are stored, and save it there.
2. Use your web-authoring program to insert the image and make a link to the MAM website: /mam/03/
3. Upload your revised web page and the image file.

More Detailed Instructions

Most web-authoring programs include an option to "import a picture." After you import the picture, select it and make the link.

or

If you prefer to insert the appropriate HTML code directly in to your web page, we provide four versions of the code below. Each assumes that you have copied that picture into the same folder as your web page.

<A HREF="/mam/03/"><IMG SRC="Logo150x150.gif" WIDTH=150 HEIGHT=150 ALT="MAM 2003" BORDER=0></A>

<A HREF="/mam/03/"><IMG SRC="Logo100x100.gif" WIDTH=100 HEIGHT=100 ALT="MAM 2003" BORDER=0></A>

<A HREF="/mam/03/"><IMG SRC="Logo75x75.gif" WIDTH=75 HEIGHT=75 ALT="MAM 2003" BORDER=0></A>

<A HREF="/mam/03/"><IMG SRC="Logo50x50.gif" WIDTH=50 HEIGHT=50 ALT="MAM 2003" BORDER=0></A>

or

Instead of downloading the images, call them from the Math Forum server with this code:

<A HREF="/mam/03/"><IMG SRC="/mam/03/Logo150x150.gif" WIDTH=150 HEIGHT=150 ALT="MAM 2003" BORDER=0></A>

<A HREF="/mam/03/"><IMG SRC="/mam/03/Logo100x100.gif" WIDTH=100 HEIGHT=100 ALT="MAM 2003" BORDER=0></A>

<A HREF="/mam/03/"><IMG SRC="/mam/03/Logo75x75.gif" WIDTH=75 HEIGHT=75 ALT="MAM 2003" BORDER=0></A>

<A HREF="/mam/03/"><IMG SRC="/mam/03/Logo50x50.gif" WIDTH=50 HEIGHT=50 ALT="MAM 2003" BORDER=0></A>

• If you stored the image file somewhere besides the same folder as your web page, modify the filename in this command to indicate the correct path to the file.
• The ALT portion of the command is optional. It provides a text description of a graphic to help viewers who have turned off graphics or visually impaired people who have an automated reader for web pages that rely on this tag to properly "read" graphics.
• The BORDER portion of the command is optional. Setting it at zero means that, when you make a link from the picture, the browser will not insert a border around your picture.
• The WIDTH and HEIGHT portions are required. Use different values to adjust the dimensions of the picture. Compared with using these HTML attributes to shrink or enlarge a picture, however, resizing it in image-editing software generally renders sharper a graphic.
