Broadcast By Email: sending image or picture

Question:

I would like my newsletter to be htm – text with images. I am struggling to understand how one should insert an image (or hyperlink)

Answer:

The way to do it is have the image hosted somewhere and then refer to it in your html email. Today, there are a lot of free web sites or blogs that can store your images. For example, to include Voicent logo in the email, you can use the following text in your HTML email:

<img src="http://www.voicent.com/images/voicent.gif">

Another added benefit is that if you know how to do some simple web programming, you can create a script around that image, and then you can know how many times the image is accessed. From there, you will know roughly how many times your email is opened.
