I spent about two hours last night trying to work out how to do this. I got as far as doing a text link to related images. Thanks for the useful info – and thanks to istock for pointing me in your direction.

Nothing like releasing some steam to get our thoughts straight. I finally figured out what characteres to get rid of in order to make the link work.

It was much more simple than it looked. I just erased all the mess between [{ }]. That’s it!

Ok so I did a search on my portfolio and want to put all the kids photos into one grouping. I have that page open with 25 photos. I copy that address then do I go to each image and copy the the url address there? Sorry am such a newbie

Hi George,

The address that you’ll want to paste into the [url][/url] tags is what appears in the address bar at the top of your browser window. It should look something like “http://www.istockphoto.com/file_search.php?action=file…” and so on. The way it exists now on iStock, there are a lot of parameters in the URL string. I recommend copying the entire address and pasting it into a text editor (something simple like Notepad should be all you need). From there you can remove the portions of the URL that you don’t need and paste the results into the [url][/url] tags.

I understan all but the last part.
“You should be able to copy the address wholesale and copy it into the [url] tags as above. Can you explain you give me alittle detail and how that works and where I find the url when am view my portfolio. I’ve never done anything with code so this if my first try. Thanks

Wow, thanks a lot. I was wondering how it was done. Now all my images connect to other, similar ones.
