Finding and saving pictures
You cannot copy and paste a
picture into a web page. The picture is a separate file that you link to.
The first thing you need to do is to find
a copyright free picture for you
page. There are many websites you can go to to find one. Be careful and
make sure the picture you select for your web page is not copyrighted.
Select your picture from one of the following websites:
Right-click
on the picture
Save As
Make sure the Save In:
box displays the right folder
You can change the File name
if you wish, but only one word, no spaces, and all
letters should all be in low case.
Check the Save as
type: box. It should say .GIF
or .JPEG
Save only pictures with a
file extension of .GIF
or .JPG
(pronounced Jay-Peg).
Files that have a .bmp extension will not work in your web page.
Save the web address
for your bibliography. It is a
good idea to say where your picture came from, especially if there is a
question about its copyright. For instance, all the images on this
entire website came from the Microsoft
Office Online Clip Art and Media Gallery. The format was changed to
a .gif or .jpg, and some were modified using Paint Shop Pro.
Inserting
a picture in your web page
The
tag for inserting a picture in your web page is:
<IMG SRC="">
If the your
Save as type:
box said GIF
<IMG SRC="picture.gif">
If the Save
as type: box
said JPG or JPEG
<IMG SRC="picture.jpg">
You should have the paragraph tags <P> </P> to
separate the picture from the text on your page. You need opening and
closing alignment tags <right> <center> or <left>
to show where you want the picture on the web page..
Inserting
a picture in your your background
You may decide that you want a background picture instead of having a
color for your background. To do this, remove BGCOLOR="white"
from your <BODY> tag and replace it with BACKGROUND="background.gif".
You can use any picture with a file
extension of .gif or .jpg for your background. Almost any picture can be
used for a background but small pictures created for web page backgrounds
are the best. A small picture be tiled, repeating itself, until your page is
filled. Check the links above for a background picture.
Make sure your text and links can be read
after you insert a background. You may have to change the colors.

Your report will look like just
one long paragraph unless you show where each paragraph starts and
ends. You can do this by typing and opening <P> at the
beginning of each paragraph and a closing </P> at the end of
each paragraph.

Make sure you save after every
change you make on your web page. Remember that the best way is to
"save as" and make sure you check
"all files".
