I want to put my own pic onto the background. problem is I havn't got IR or bluetooth or even any cable! So I want to do it through WAP. I now know it's possible (great site this esato innit!), but how do I put it into wml? I've tried an <img> tag and an anchor tag but they don't seem to do it. Can anyone help me out here?

Cheers.

..and the answer to your question is: Yes, you include a <img> tag in your wml code. And you don't need a link on the image.

Example code:
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">

<wml>
<card id="logo" title="Ericsson T68 logo">
<p>
<img src="yourlogo.gif" alt="Logoname"/>
</p>
</card>
</wml>

Thanks for that, I think it might be my picture that's at fault here. I tried it with one I just saved from this web site and ftp'd it onto my webspace, and using the code you just gave, it worked OK. hmm, any good tips on converting photos!?

I use photoshop for converting pictures.
First i resize the picture.
Then I usually makes it sharper in colour/contrast (in EFFECTS-SHARPEN).

Then "export as" : GIF
Then you get the choice of how many colors.
Try to make for example 3 pictures :
one in 64 colors.
one in 128 colors
and one in 256 colors.

Then afterwards check out the size of the pictures,..this gives a pretty good idea of how many colors/how large (kb) the picture will be.

The pictures on my site, are usually bigger than 3kb,..if you wanna check them out, here's the adress :
