Lesson Three
We’ve already got quite a nice looking template with colorful layered backgrounds and text layed out in easy-to-read fashion. The next thing we want to do to our template is to add a picture (or two). For a single picture, centered on the template, we can just add this code:
to our template. Some people like the picture at the top, above the title, some like it between the title and description and some like it below the description. I am going to put it below the description for this example but you can put it where you like in your own template. You simply insert the code with the appropriate image URL into the template code like this:
<p style=”margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px; color: #00000″>

Because these pictures are small we might choose to put them side by side. We do this by putting both image tags withing the same paragraph tag, like this:

Leaving a space between the two image tags will leave a space between the two images in the finished template view and, if the images should happen to be two wide for a single line, allow them to wrap nicely to the second line if necessary. Our side-by-side pictures will look like this:

I think there is enough room for three of these images across the template and, since there are actually eight of these little troll fellows being offered for sale, we should probably show them all. This code will create three rows of images with three in each of the first two rows, and two in the last row, making a total of eight.
