Adding Images
How do I add images to my web pages in GeoCities? How do I make text flow around images in my web pages? These and similar questions will be answered in this tutorial.
GeoCities supports the following graphic file types: BMPs (bitmaps), GIFs, JPEGs, TIFs and TIFFs. However, we strongly encourage you to use only GIFs and JPEGs -- the standard world wide web graphics file types -- in your web pages.
PROCEDURES
1. If the images you want are stored somewhere in the world wide web, download them to your hard disk.
2. Upload the images from your hard disk to your GeoCities homestead.
3. Edit the HTML code of the file where you want your images to appear.
Since this tutorial is under the intermediate section, we presume that you're already familiar with uploading and downloading files as well as editing HTML pages -- topics that have been discussed in the basics section. If you're not familiar with them, please click on the links below. Do note that the tutorials referred to by these links will all appear in a new browser window.
WARNING It is essential that you have understood the contents of all the tutorials above before you embark with the rest of this tutorial.
In this tutorial, we will discuss the codes necessary for you to successfully add images to your HTML files. You must include these codes in the body -- between the and the tags -- of the HTML file where you want your images to appear.
NOTE Before continuing, make sure that the image you want to display in your web page has already been uploaded to your GeoCities homestead. Though it is possible to display images in your web pages that are not present in your homestead and are still in other sites in the world wide web, it is more proper and safer that you have the image file in your homestead.
