In order to use graphics files on your site, you first need to upload the files to your site. Since files are always associated with messages, you might want to create a message that will have all your graphics included. Alternately, you can include your graphics with the message where they'll be needed. In either case, once you've created a message to contain your graphics files, do the following:
- Edit the message, either by clicking EDIT when the message is displayed or by choosing to create a new message.
- Click the "Browse..." button in the Enclosures section of the message editing form.
- Locate and select the image file you wish to upload. The name of the file should appear in the field next to the "Browse..." button.
- Click "Submit Changes" to save your work.
- Now you can use Conversant's <!--#enclosure--> macro to include the graphic in your message. The height and width will be computed automatically to help the page render quickly. For example, on this page the macro <!--#enclosure filename="conversant_badge.gif"--> generates this HTML:
<img src="http://www.free-conversant.com/newbies/71/enclosure/conversant_badge.gif" height="55" width="120" />
and looks like this:
