How to Code an Image for Craigslist
In addition to the Add Images button available on most Craigslist sections, Craigslist allows you to manually add an externally hosted image to your advertisement by using the HTML tag for images. After uploading the image you want to display, the image's URL must be inserted into the proper image HTML. Craigslist supports most commonly used image formats, such as GIF and JPEG.
