Many e-commerce stores and blog platforms allow users to quickly and easily insert an image into a web page, without needing any special software or knowledge of graphic design. The most popular of these services are AWeber and ConvertKit, with AWeber allowing users to create and send out automated email campaigns with embedded images and ConvertKit allowing users to create content-based email campaigns.
However, while these services are incredibly convenient for those who use them, they can be a little bit more difficult for developers and marketers who need to integrate images into their websites or email campaigns. This tutorial will go over how you can easily integrate an image into a paragraph of text in AWeber.
The Basics
To integrate an image into a paragraph of text in AWeber, you will need to add a couple of tags to the paragraph. The first tag is “image”, followed by the “src” attribute, which is used to tell the service where the image is located. You can add multiple tags separated by a comma.
So, if we want to add an image from Microsoft Store for Windows Phone, we would add the following to our paragraph of text:
<p><img src=#https://store.microsoft.com/en-us/store-paw-pets-hub/image/id=402432# alt=#"Windows Phone#" /><p>
The “<p>” and “</p>” tags are used to denote the beginning and end of the paragraph. The “<p>” tag is what gives the paragraph formatting, and the “</p>” tag is what makes it a closing paragraph.
After adding the “src” attribute to the paragraph, you will need to add the “alt” attribute. This is alternative text applied to the image. It is displayed when the image is unavailable or if the user doesn’t have a graphic card that can display images. In our example, the image is displayed when the page is loaded, so the user doesn’t have to have a graphic card to see it. However, if you want to add a little extra protection, you can add a second “alt” attribute with a value of “broken link”. This is to stop spammers from filling out the “src” attribute with a bogus URL when they try to spam your email list.
The HTML Code
Once you have added the necessary tags to your paragraph of text, you can create an image map, which will make it easier for visitors to navigate your images. To add an image map, you will need to add the “map” tag to the parent element of the paragraph, e.g.:
<p><img src=#https://store.microsoft.com/en-us/store-paw-pets-hub/image/id=402432# alt=#"Windows Phone#" /><p><map><area shape="rect" coords="8, 8, 200, 200" href=#"https://store.microsoft.com/en-us/store-paw-pets-hub/image/id=402432# alt=#"Windows Phone#" /></map></p>
An image map is made up of “coordinates” that specify the position of the image, e.g.:
<area shape="rect" coords="8, 8, 200, 200" href=#"https://store.microsoft.com/en-us/store-paw-pets-hub/image/id=402432# alt=#"Windows Phone#" />
The “shape” attribute is used to define the boundaries of the image area, e.g.:
<area shape="rounded" coords="8, 8, 200, 200" href=#"https://store.microsoft.com/en-us/store-paw-pets-hub/image/id=402432# alt=#"Windows Phone#" />
The “coords” attribute is used to define the location of the image area, e.g.:
<area shape="rect" coords="8, 8, 200, 200" href=#"https://store.microsoft.com/en-us/store-paw-pets-hub/image/id=402432# alt=#"Windows Phone#" />
The “href” attribute is used to define the location of an image map anchor, e.g.:
<area shape="rect" coords="8, 8, 200, 200" href=#"https://store.microsoft.com/en-us/store-paw-pets-hub/image/id=402432# alt=#"Windows Phone#" />
Step 2: Adding the Image in Microsoft Word
The next step is to add the image in Microsoft Word. You can do this by simply dragging the image file or URL into the Microsoft Word document. However, if you already have an image in the PNG or JPG format, you can select it in the Insert menu and click the “Picture” button to add it to your document. This will automatically download the image for you.
When you are finished adding the image to the document, you can click the “Picture” button again to remove the image or publish the document to share with others.
Tweaking the HTML
After adding the image to your documen, you can use the “Replace” tool in the Find and Replace box in the Insert menu to replace certain words and phrases with synonyms. For example, if you notice that a lot of your content is dedicated to explaining how to use Windows Phone, you can use the “Replace” tool to replace the word “Windows Phone” with “Microsoft Phone”. This will make your content easier to understand for those users who are not familiar with Windows Phone or have never used it. When finished replacing words, simply click the “Replace All” button.
The Results
After adding the necessary HTML tags and replacing all instances of “Windows Phone” with “Microsoft Phone”, the end result looks like this:
