Site Tech – All About Images
August 8, 2008
Throughout the USBA website, we see images such as the cool flyer for Clone Wars. Pretty small, you say? Cannot read the fine print?
Here’s a tip…..whenever you move your mouse over a link, your cursor, usually in the shape of an arrow, turns to a hand, signifying the presence of a link. With text links, the text itself is of a different color (red text on the USBA website is usually a link…). Similarly, when you move your mouse and cursor over an image or photo, if you get the telltale hand, you know that there is a link there as well. Click on the Clone Wars image and see what happens!
Some links, both text and image, help you navigate to other areas of the USBA website. Many of the images on our site will link to and display larger versions of the same images. In special cases, where there are multiple photos arranged in a mosaic, clicking on one will bring up a slideshow of all. The USBA Photo Album is one example of this.
When in need, go ahead and click! Remember, when you see a link, there may be useful information just one click away!
