<img src="url" alt="some_text">

<a href="url"><img src="image.png, jpg, gif, whatever"></a>, I believe. I'm going off of memory here, tho.

You first gotta upload it to a server like imgur, gyazo etc.

Little tutorial (for Google Chrome): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3ZNgf98Dnk

Right click on your picture and go on: Copy image address (for Google Chrome)
And now you can put the copied URL into the URL of this HTML example code:

<img src="URL"></img>

don't forget to leave the " there where they are.

<a> is going to make a text (between <a> and </a>) clickable. It's redirecting you to another website which you put in href="url".

So, in other words, just put the "href" in the <img src> tag?

No href at all
