Multi-Link images
I know there is no way to do this directly in Typepad but I would like to have an image that can link to two places. Like if I put my mouse on the left of the image I would land somewhere different then if I clicked on the right. Understand? This would make it so I could kind of have two separate images (although it's really one) side by side instead of on top of each other (which Typepad doesn't allow-employees, do you like that idea)?
I know this is totally possible via HTML and whatnot, I just have no idea how to do it. Do you know how? Tell me please. Thanks.

Inappropriate?One thing you can try is a client side image map. They're a little fiddly but not too hard.
There should be plenty of tutorials around - these two should get you on your way.

Inappropriate?Cosmo, my concern with having a feature like this is that screen readers can't always support image maps. So, if someone is using a screen reader to read your weblog, they might miss out on that content because of the image map.
Two separate images that are positioned side by side using CSS would have the same look but would be more accessible for screen readers. I think instead of an image mapping feature, there should be more options for positioning images next to each other, in groups, etc.
I'm not sure this is a huge concern for individual bloggers but it is something we have to keep in mind when creating tools that produce attractive blogs that are still accessible.
