could we be allowed to use the image tag in our profiles? so we can add a picture in our profiles?

I think this idea is referring to a piece of HTML code that allows you to use images on web pages. I think the idea is to have the ability to have images on your profiles by using the image HTML code.

Thank you for giving response. Yes, that is something I have heard of.

Yep, the image tag refers to <img>. Its standard format might look like:

<img src="http://www.domain.tld/images/imagename.jpg" width="320" height="240" align="center" alt="Insert image description here" longdesc="http://www.domain.tld/image_descs/imagename-longdesc.txt" name="img01" id="img01" title="insert image description here"/>

That's the standard format I would like people to use, such that alternative text is put in for those of us using screen readers and such that the image has a name and an ID to be used with possible allowances for JavaScript. Change the width and height, as well as the src, name, id, and longdesc attributes as necessary.

They were, yes, Jess. But people need to know not only that they can, but how to do it. What I showed in post 9 was the proper use of the <img> tag.
