I recommend learning some basic HTML. An <a target="_blank" href="... tag put around the image should do what you want.

If the url is to long, then go to http://snipurl.com/index.php and insert the long url and it will make it shorter. And thanx, I needed this.

yeah for those of you who can't fit the tag because it's too long, go to snipurl.com

okay, seriously people. if the url is too long, go to your documents, and your pictures, find the picture, rename it as 'a' or something short like one letter. then try with the url.

This site is good for cutting down URL's so they fit in the caption box.

This works I swear
use this code


because when you copy and paste the code they have the myspace url is too long so it removes the alt thing at the end of the code, so go to tinypic.com or tinyurl.com to make the url shorter then put that url where my code says url

Ok it took out the code so let me explain it
when you copy and paste the code they give you
take out the myspace url so you have ""
then you have to re-add the alt="" / >
now go to tinypic.com use that url and put it between the first ""

Hi, I'm trying to put an image in my "companies" section. I'm using the exact code that Leo suggests, which usually works just fine. I used tinypic.com to host my gif. The problem I'm having is that when I enter the code, MySpace automatically converts the quote marks to """ kind of the way it automatically converts a typed ampersand into "&". Is there a way to disable this so that I can see my image and not a long line of converted code?

Thanks!
