Now, much as I suspect I'm the last person in the blogosphere to work out this stupidly simple thing - because I searched for months and months (only to find the most convoluted advice on how to add HTML mark-up to your template to make this happen) I'm going to share what I accidentally discovered.... maybe there's one or two others left out there who haven't figured this one out.....
(although I doubt it!!!!!)
How to make a 'search labels' hyperlink for a pic on your blog
1. If you don't have one already, add a 'labels' gadget to your sidebar - you can edit what is viewed on the label feature or just show them all (PS you can remove the gadget after you make your 'search labels hyperlink pic' if you don't want it permanently on your blog..... it just makes this mighty easy)
here's mine.....
2. choose what label you want your pic to activate - in this example I'm using a pic of my beloved sams creek to show posts labeled 'sams creek'..... now click that label on your label list/cloud and this is what you'll find in your browser addresss....
3. copy the address (and just put it on the clipboard or like for now)
select the pic you want and upload or link....... add a 'title' and 'caption' if you want (not essential - the pic is the thing hyperlinked)
5. (this is the magic bit) in the 'link' box - add the browser address you copied earlier.
here's how my sams creek pic box looks after all the info was added......
and here's how the feature appears on the sidebar....
if anyone clicks the pic of sams creek - this is what they will get.....
yep - it's all the posts labeled with 'sams creek' in reverse chronological order.....
WHEEEEEE!
now how stupidly easy is that!
I must admit I got totally carried away with my new found 'skill' and have added ummmmmm
Now if you are the only other person in greater blogland who hasn't worked this (or something similar) out already - this 'how to' was just for you!
enjoy!

Thankyou, Ronnie. You were NOT the last to know this!
ReplyDeleteUmm...my primary blog(s) are Wordpress. Now what!
But I'm sure this will be useful, especially once we get more involved with the BAO stuff.
Not even the second last... I like the look of this on your blog - I'll try it, but not today. At least I'll be reminded every time I see your blog otherwise my failing memory may just have deleted it from my mind.
ReplyDeleteNo, you're definitely not the last to know (it's reassuring that I'm probably not the last to know either, phew)! Thanks for that. Hmm... means I should do some work on the BAO blog I guess - once life returns to normal. I've had 3 happy days without ANYONE at home!
ReplyDeletehmmmmm I'm up there on the list of those who didn't know and really appreciate you sharing. Networks and sharing are the only way I have picked up just about anything about this blogging and posting world. It works really well with your blog and the images - I will know where to go as I redesign mine and think thru how I can use it. Many thanks F
