Make Your Own Web Page
Step 6: Using Images
There are plenty of ways to get cool images for your Web page. Make sure to go to sites that say free images. You are more than welcome to take any images that you see on the Girl Power! Web site. There are two types of images. (.gif,
.jpg) Only these types of images will work on the Web.
Here is how you save an image that you like:
- Use your mouse to position the pointer over the image.
- MacIntosh—Hold down the button on the mouse until you see a menu. PC—Right click and hold until you see the menu. Keep the button down and move the pointer to "Save this image as...."
- Let go of the button, and you'll see a dialog box that lets you choose where you want to put the image and what you want to call it. If you decide to change the name of the file, make sure your new name ends in .gif or .jpg (This will be important if you use the image in your own Web page.)
- Click on "Save" (or hit the return key), and the image will be downloaded onto your hard drive.
While you're searching for images, don't download every one you see.
Don't add too many images to your pages because it takes longer to load the page. Just remind yourself how much you hate going to a page that takes 10 minutes to download.
