How To Create Links in Pictures and Graphics

By
Education & Training with Retired Executive Director of Education at eXp Non-Licensed

Here's an example of an office below which has hyper-links and labels built right into the image.

Feel free to go ahead and click around.  If you're interested, let me know by leaving a comment below and I'll give you the instructions on how to create these "hotspots" and "Hyper-Links" in your own images, graphics, and pictures.  It's easy and it's free. There are 28 in the one below, can you find them all?

TIP: For ActiveRain users ONLY
You'll have to use the "CTRL KEY+ Mouse Click" to open these links in a seperate tab or window.

Imagine All The Ways You Could Use Something Like This
IE: Banners, Headers, Footers, Email Signatures, Home and Office Tours, and that’s just the beginning…

What about these ideas for some additional uses:

  • Layouts for Facebook, Groups, Multiply, and hundreds of other social networking sites
  • Blog and web site headers and navigational bars or sitemaps
  • Website applications like advertisements (ads) and forum signatures
  • Navigational features like schematics, floor plans, blue prints, diagrams and flow charts
  • City, County, and Country maps.  Also clickable homes, store locators, and so much more...

I can see where this could and will be very useful for someone wanting to accomplish more with their pictures, images, and graphics.  Using this tool and technology will work on any image or graphic of your choice.

OK, I should be all caught up here. Each of you should have received a response via your AR profile and email. If you didn't receive it, (and you asked in the comments), please let me know if I missed you. NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND.... 

It's too beautiful of a day, I'm headed out to the pool now.   :)

fyi... while there are a ton of hotspots in this photo, none are currently linked...  lol~

Cheryl - the CTRL+Click is just an AR thing, it works fine on any other site, blog, or online platform. AR limits the use of HTML and CSS formats unlike Wordpress, Blogger, Tumblr, Posterous and many others.

Thanks everyone for all the interest in creating hotspots and links in images.

I just had to see and find out for my self if anyone was even reading my blog here on AR and more importantly, if I was providing any content worthy of your readership and interest?  Thanks for all the wonderful personal notes and letters, emails, and calls.  You made me feel warm and fuzzy all over! :-)

So for the rest of you reading this, you'll find a tutorial and instructions on how to do this here:

Thanks again, I appreciate your comments, love that your enjoying and able to use this stuff, and most of all, I value and appreciate your friendships and our relationships both business and personal. God bless and thanks again.
