pictures on ez pages

I would like to put a portrait page on my zen cart. The kind of place where a customer can send me a picture of their horse to be posted. I was thinking of doing it as an ez page, but I'm not sure how to just put up pictures.
Is this the kind of thing that would be better on something like google+ or can it be done as an ez page and how is it done.

Re: pictures on ez pages

EZ-Pages are a fine way to display such content. You just need to save the images in a good place like /images/ or /images/horsepics/, and make HTML links to the files in your ez-page content. Use relative URLs like ```html
<img src="images/horsepics/horsepic-001.jpg" alt="Customer X's horse Whinney" />

"http://www.yoursite.com/images/horsepics/horsepic-001.jpg".

Re: pictures on ez pages

I guess I'm fuzzy on how the pictures are suppose to be displayed. I would like to show multiple pictures on the page, not have links. I put the link in the Internal Link URL:

<img src="working_title/images/horsepics/horsepic-001.jpg" alt="Customer X's horse Whinney" /> and I get a 404 Not Found Error The requested URL /working_title/<img src= was not found on this server.

Am I putting the link in the wrong place, and what happens when I have many links to photos.
Can I just have a gallery of pictures on the page.

Re: pictures on ez pages

Yes, you would make a regular ez-page, and enter all of the <img> links you want to show on that page into the text box. These images will all be displayed when the page is visited by a customer. Include any other intro, comments, etc. that you want, using HTML tags for formatting. If you use an HTML editor for content entry, there should be a way to insert images.

Ignore the "internal link" section.

Re: pictures on ez pages

Thank you so much, I have been able to get some pictures in. I would like to now get the names of the
horses centered under the pictures if possible.
The code I used for the 2 horses is
<img src="../working_title/images/horsepics/jazzie-01.jpg" alt="Customer X's horse Whinney" /> Jazzie

<img src="../working_title/images/horsepics/Miss Puakea-01.JPG" alt="Customer X's horse Whinney" />Miss Puakea

and the result can be seen at

I've been searching html programming sites, but haven't been able to find how to do it.

Re: pictures on ez pages

I found a workaround. I just added the name on to the picture.

Re: pictures on ez pages

The code content of ez-pages is basic HTML, so you need to get to grips with raw html and associated styling (css).

You could structure a "frame" for the pics and their captions using the <table> method: SEE: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_table.asp
