OT: how to set width of image called by <a href=

[Josef Lowder]

.
I sincerely apologize for offending you and all others 
who may have been offended by my error in asking this 
"totally off topic" question in this forum. 

I was not aware that there was a separate list where 
questions of this nature might be asked.  May I ask, 
how to find and/or access this other list to which 
you refer?
