Graphics

	Graphics are all the pictures and animations that you see on the web. When on your site they make a nice visual addition. You can either create your own or use some from other sites on yours.    To make your own you need some drawing and animation programs. The paint program that came with your Windows set, if that's what you are using, isn't that good for making graphics.
Below are some links to sites which have downloads for animation and graphic creating tools. These are all trial versions of the program and to get the full version you need to register it at the sites, which also requires a cost.
