Images
Without images.. I must admit.. pages look pretty darn boring!!!! *yawning* .. .. So.. we give the viewer something to look at besides just reading and reading and reading! Pictures are a good idea... but of what? that's best left up to you and what you want to put up... let's cover some of the basics of images..
There are several different types you can chose from .. gif's .. jpg's .. bmp's.. animated gif's..........................................................and that's just a SMALL sampling of what's out there. Let's work on a couple of things here....
First of all.. how to 'obtain' your own images.. well .. if you see an image up someplace.. and you like it.. here's what you do..
See the picture on the right? The next thing I suggest you do.. is download a copy of ACDSee or any other type image viewer. You're going to need it for doing page work in the future. I like to have ACDSee open because it's not a really large program to have open ... what ACDSee will do.. is this.. it allows you to view images that are on your harddrive.. it also tells you the dimentions of the image .. height and width aspects in pixels..... and the size of the file in kilobytes.
Now that you know all that .. let's go on...
This is the main part of posting an image up..
Let's get a little more advanced here though.. Have you ever been to a web page.. and you're 'stuck' in one spot while it's loading? Well.. that can be avoided... this is where ACDSee comes in...Here's how to do it.

Ok.. so we have this button just sitting there buttons aren't any good unless you can push them! *a bad habit of mine.. I love pushing buttons on pages :-)* But it's not connected to anything.. it's just an inactive image... let's make it a bit more active...

Try this:
Ok.. you've got pictures.. you know how to get them to load right..and you know how to make them look good if you're going to use them as links... what else is there? .. well as with text.. we can force it to align to the center: or to the right: What happens if you want to have an image on both sides.. and text in the middle? Or have an image up and you want text written 'around' it? WOW? lots of options with images eh?.. Let's try some things.. and see what the results are...
<img src="button.jpg" height="50" width="100" alt="empty button" align=left>
I think you get the idea of how to do this.. experiment.. you might like what you see...
