Card Images/icons used in Articles

[gder03]

If you read books, or Cardplayer, you will notice that there are diagrams of cards and flops within the text to illustrate the situation. Is there a way to insert this type of thing into my articles?

I would like two things,

Little colored card suit icons that you can put in after the card value seen here; http://www.cardplayer.com/magazine/article/14548 (seen in bottom half of article)

The second is actual picture of the card as seen in many hand histories such as this: http://www.pokerhand.org/index.php?p...21804&noview=y

his would really enhance the articles.

is there an easy way to achieve this?

thanks.

For the 2nd you'll need to get images of cards to insert, try somewhere like istockphoto.com they may well have the entire deck for about a dollar or so.

The first is easily achievable. Look in your charachter map on your PC (Accessories/System Tools) under Arial (plus probably other fonts) there are the suit images. Find the symbol you want, click select then copy, then paste into your page and change the colour as neccessary.

They are available as HTML characters too...

To color them, wrap this around'em like so...
