The best general quick HTML reference on the web can be
found at EchoEcho.
For inserting images into posts, log
in to Memphilter and go to the Edit Entry screen and choose
"upload file". Browse and find the file and save to <local
archive path>. Choose the "embedded image" option. Then
choose "show html". At this point you can cut the html code from
that window and paste it into your post window, or you can type the following:
<img alt="yourfilename" src="http://www.memphilter.com/blog/archives/images/yourfilename"
width="160" height="250" border="0" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="4" />
Note: if you cut and paste you will need to add the
align="left" hspace="10" vspace="4" attributes to
the code. This allows the text to properly wrap around the image.
Alternatively, if you type the html source in, you will need to use the proper
width and height dimensions. It should also be noted that images of about
100 pixels x 100 pixels are best. Don't go too large with images because it
hogs bandwidth and goofs with formatting. (Refer to How
do I make a good post? for additional info on using images)
Of course, there are plenty of other great html resources on the web. For a
cheat sheet, try Webmonkey.
For more complete tutorials, try htmlgoodies.
A Google
search reveals several hundred thousand more resources.
