Here's an example of an office below which has hyper-links and labels built right into the image.
Feel free to go ahead and click around. If you're interested, let me know by leaving a comment below and I'll give you the instructions on how to create these "hotspots" and "Hyper-Links" in your own images, graphics, and pictures. It's easy and it's free. There are 28 in the one below, can you find them all?
TIP: For ActiveRain users ONLY
You'll have to use the "CTRL KEY+ Mouse Click" to open these links in a seperate tab or window.
Imagine All The Ways You Could Use Something Like This
IE: Banners, Headers, Footers, Email Signatures, Home and Office Tours, and that’s just the beginning…
What about these ideas for some additional uses:
- Layouts for Facebook, Groups, Multiply, and hundreds of other social networking sites
- Blog and web site headers and navigational bars or sitemaps
- Website applications like advertisements (ads) and forum signatures
- Navigational features like schematics, floor plans, blue prints, diagrams and flow charts
- City, County, and Country maps. Also clickable homes, store locators, and so much more...
I can see where this could and will be very useful for someone wanting to accomplish more with their pictures, images, and graphics. Using this tool and technology will work on any image or graphic of your choice.

Here due to Cheryls repost (thanks Cheryl)! Very nice timing too since we are just starting with Snagit.
Brad, thanks and yes please send me the instructions this is soooo cool!! Thank You!
Cheryl - the CTRL+Click is just an AR thing, it works fine on any other site, blog, or online platform. AR limits the use of HTML and CSS formats unlike Wordpress, Blogger, Tumblr, Posterous and many others.
Brad,
You never cease to amaze me with all your tipsand willingness to share. I would love to know how to do this! Thank you!!!!
I would like to have the instructions to do this. Thank you for all the knowledge you give us.
Thanks everyone for all the interest in creating hotspots and links in images.
I just had to see and find out for my self if anyone was even reading my blog here on AR and more importantly, if I was providing any content worthy of your readership and interest? Thanks for all the wonderful personal notes and letters, emails, and calls. You made me feel warm and fuzzy all over! :-)
