Images:
Images are an important part of the web. If you don't have images, you tend to not "appeal" to the eye of the average visitor. Then again, if you have too much to look at, you'll be on the verge of distracting your visitors from the textual content of the site! While you will learn how to incorporate images into your page, you should stay realistic and keep the page organized with the text and images (and of course, only include images that are relevant to your site).
Where to Get Images:
You can obtain images for your page from a wide variety of places. Many computer labs have at least one scanner equipped to a computer. You are encouraged to seek out your own real, physical images (such as taking photographs) which you can scan into a digital file for an image. This is preferred because it shows a serious effort has been put into the site. However, it is also possible to scan images from things such as magazines and books. If you need help using the scanner, ask a computer lab assistant, who will be able to assist you.
You can also obtain images from other sources on the Internet, even other websites. Here are some useful starting points:
There are many, many other places to find images. Other search engines may also have image searches. Other than search engines, different sites relating to YOUR site's topic may include images.
Before using any images from other websites, be sure to take some factors into consideration. Are the images copyrighted? If so, you may not be able to use them. Try to use images that you feel are widely used, already, across the Internet. If you do use images from other sites, it is generally proper "netiquette" to include a small credit and link back to the site where the image (or images) were obtained.
After you have collected your images, be sure to place them somewhere close to your web page documents. This is generally in one of two places:
1. The exact same directory (folder) where your web page documents are stored
2. A folder within that directory entitled "images" that you will save ALL images to for your site
This is necessary to keep your files organized.
