How to add more images to your Squidoo lens

This lens began as an experiment to find out which modules allowed you to add pictures, and whether images showed up in RSS feeds, and its main purpose still is to showcase or link to interesting images; but according to the statistics Squidoo provides me as a lensmaster, a number of people have visited this lens actually wanting to know how to upload images to Squidoo, so I've added some helpful information below.

There are three ways to include an image on a Squidoo lens. On some Squidoo modules, you can upload an image as part of the module. And in RSS feed modules, images in the feeds will be included if you allow HTML in the module, as I have done on this page. Images can also be included in HTML tags as part of modules that allow basic HTML. When linking to an image in this way, make sure you have permission to include the image, as there may be copyright and bandwidth usage considerations.

If you've learned something from this lens, or enjoy the pictures presented here, let me know!

For each section below in which the image regularly updates, I've included a link to the page where the current image displays, and a link to the corresponding RSS feed.

Mighty Optical Illusions

Mighty Optical Illusions collects optical illusions and pictures that fool the eye in some way. Some are drawings or altered photographs, but there are also unretouched photographs taken from just the right angle.

this page was not helpful. You didn't tell me which modules let me add pictures or how to do it. But thanks any way.
