Adding Graphics to Your Web Site

Adding Graphics to Your Web Site

Now that you've learned how to add images to your Web pages, you have almost doubled the things that you can do on the Web. In this example, you add graphics to a typical corporate Web page, using a couple of methods that you've learned.

To start, you need to create some graphics for your home page. If you have a corporate logo and a scanner handy, go ahead and scan in some graphics. Alternatively, you can use a graphics program to create, crop, and save your graphics as GIF or JPEG files. While you're at it, you may want to create some of your GIFs as transparent GIFs.

Create a logo, a special bullet, and a photo for use on the page. Name your GIFs LOGO.GIF, BULLET.GIF, and PHOTO.GIF, or something similar. (If you have already created a Web site, feel free to name the files according to the organizational system that you're using for the site. You can also use JPEG graphics if you so desire.) Then load your HTML template, and save it as a new HTML document. Between the body tags, type something like Listing

<IMG SRC="bullet.gif" ALT="-" ALIGN=MIDDLE>

<IMG SRC="bullet.gif" ALT="-" ALIGN=MIDDLE>

<IMG SRC="bullet.gif" ALT="-" ALIGN=MIDDLE>

<IMG SRC="bullet.gif" ALT="-" ALIGN=MIDDLE>
