..That is , how can I put an image in an email using Mail and make it so when someone clicks on it , they are taken to a particular website.

Other than having the image hosted on the web to begin with.

Or maybe I should be asking "How do I make a HTML version of an image .

Please be advised that I don't really know html or photoshop stuff to well.

An idiots guide , if you will.

cheers
 
Code:
<A HREF="http://www.google.com"><img src="http://www.site.com/image.jpg"></A>
Obviously change the google.com bit to whatever link you need and change the image.jpg to the full image link too.

How to Add Links to Signatures in Mac OS X Mail
By Heinz Tschabitscher, AboutDOTcom

A signature without a link is like an email without a signature. Would you want an email like that? Or a signature like that? A link-less signature, a sans-signature link-less email?
Fortunately, Mac OS X Mail makes it easy to insert simple text links — all you have to do is type the URL —, and you can turn images into links comfortably, too.

Add Links to Signatures in Mac OS X Mail

To insert a link in your Mac OS X Mail signature:

Type the URL.
Mac OS X Mail automatically creates links for all web site addresses starting with "http://" or "www".
To link text or an image in a Mac OS X Mail signature:

Click in the signature you want to edit in Mail preferences' Signatures tab.
Press Command-A.
Now press Command-C.
Press Command-N to create a new message.
Click in the message body.
Press Command-A again.
Press Command-V.
Highlight the text or image you want to link.
Select Edit | Link | Add... from the menu.
Enter the desired address.
Click OK.
Press Command-A once more to highlight all text.
Press Command-C.
Go back to the Signatures preferences window.
Make sure the entire signature text is still highlighted.
If it is not, click in the signature and press, yes, Command-A.
Press Command-V.
Close the Signatures window.
Close the New Message window as well, not saving the email as a draft.
Note that such rich-text links will not be present in the plain-text equivalent Mac OS X Mail automatically generates for recipients who prefer to read their mail in just text.

The lan:
be nice
 
Thanks for that -I appear to have somehow managed to work that out since posting and subsequently forgotten that I had this question up here - my apologies for not coming back and clearing that up .


Yes Ian - be nice (but that picture always gives me a chortle - so thats ok)
