   1. “...http://www.noetic.org...” will display “http://www.noetic.org” as a link
   2. “...[url=http://www.noetic.org]Institute of Noetic Sciences[/url]" will make the text “Institute of Noetic Sciences” into a link.

8. Using Images

1. Images - There are two types of images that you may be using on this site: those from the website library, and those from another location. To reference images from the website library, you will use the [media] option, and to reference images from another location, you will use the [image] option.
   1. For images from noeticTulsa.com library, use the “media” option, and the image number. (To find the image number, click on the [Go] button at the top of the page, above the noeticTulsa.com logo. Next, click on Images from the list. You will now see the images to which you have access. The image number can be found under each image, preceded by Pic #:.).
      1. To place the image in your text, enter “[media]999[/media]” where you want the image to appear. “999” is the image number from the noeticTulsa.com library. The text will not float around the image.
      2. To place an image on the right and have the text flow around it, enter “[mediar]999[/mediar]” where you want the image to appear. “999” is the image number from the noeticTulsa.com library.
      3. To place an image on the left and have the text flow around it, enter “[medial]999[/medial]” where you want the image to appear. “999” is the image number from the noeticTulsa.com library.
   2. For images that you are referencing in another location or website, use the “image” option. The formatting options are the same as for images from the website library above, except that you use “image” instead of “media”, and you use the path of the image instead of the picture number.

1. To force a line break (to end a sentence and skip to the next line without having a blank line in between), use "[br] at the end of your line.
