Tutorial

You simply take any image on your site, and turn it into a Send Postcard link.
For an image like this:

<img src="images/vacation2004/puertavallarta_1.jpg" border=0 alt="A great shot of Puerta Vallarta!">

.. located on this page on your site:

http://www.yoursite.com/vacation2004.html

You turn the image into a postcard by wrapping it in the code in blue here:
<a href="http://postcardimaging.com/pcgen.php?ID=1&loc=images/vacation2004/puertavallarta_1.jpg&abt=vacation2004.html" >
<img src=" (just like above) " border="0" alt="A great shot of Puerta Vallarta!">
</a>

The only difference in your code is that "ID=1" will be replaced with your particular account ID. Once you sign up and receive an ID (either the free service or paid service), you can create code automatically by using our code creator.

Breaking It Down

Notice that the link is to our file called pcgen.php. This is what creates the postcard. There is a question mark (?) afterwards, and then a value for ID (your Postcard Imaging account number) followed by a value for loc (location of your image), followed by a value for abt (where a recipient can learn more about the image). We'll break down the new code into its basic parts:
