question about hyperlinking

I am not a programmer and have basically taught myself gimp by trial and error and what i can recall from Photoshop, so excuse me if this seems like a dumb question. (I also use a wondows version of Gimp, but there is no longer a windows forum, so here I am) .......
Is GIMP made to have any kind of web/html interface? - Trying to create a bus card size logo with text, and i would like to make the text a hyperlink to my webpage
is this possible?
- I would also like to create an image with all the facebook, twitter, or blog 'badges' - which are mostly html with a logo...so I can just slap that onto emails, webpages, etc as needed

The only other idea I can think of is to create the image in gimp, and then use my dreamweaver to add the links ...? But that seems like too many steps and i bet it is easier than that.

thanks! Li

There really is no need for a forum for every single platform as Gimp is multi-platform and looks and feels the same on all.

.......

No. Gimp does not have a web interface (but from reading further, this is not what you meant with it). Gimp having a web interface would mean that it could be run on any web-server as a CGI application - this is just not the case, although you can use the command-line mode from server-side scripting to process images on a web-server...

First of all, images in general do not have any relations to HTML within them. It is always HTML that references the images.

For the task you want to complete, you can use Gimp's plug-in for defining HTML image maps which need to be included in the HTML code of your webpage or whatever else.

The only other idea I can think of is to create the image in gimp, and then use my dreamweaver to add the links ...? But that seems like too many steps and i bet it is easier than that.

It is more or less the same, because it does not matter what tools you use to create the image maps for the HTML part of a document containing images which (partially) relate to one or more other documents.
