Yeah like you said, but I never include two parameter values unless I want to distort the image.

My normal way to do it is just to use a width quantifier and not worry about the height.
The height automatically adjusts to the ratio of the original.

I never use quotation marks on the image address nor on the values

< img src=http://i64.tinypic.com/1ru1vq.gif width=200>

Taking out the space after the < gives me this...

If I tried it with specifying both parameters I could potentially end up with something that looks like this exaggerated example..

Both ways produce the same results but mine just takes a little less work.

You don’t have to use spaces to write the HTML code longhand (i.e. without executing) if you use the code for the less-than and greater-than signs, which are &lt; and &gt; respectively.

Write the code as &lt;img src=http://i64.tinypic.com/1ru1vq.gif width=200&gt; to get <img src=http://i64.tinypic.com/1ru1vq.gif width=200> to display in the message.

I use the quotation marks in the code because the option of omitting them is deprecated in some browsers, or so I discovered.
