You can easily add pictures to your web site by using the Pictures link in the Editors Only menu to move pictures from your computer to your web site. But first, a few important considerations about using pictures on your site:
- Use your graphics program to save your picture in one of the two standard web formats, .gif or .jpg.
- If you create your own pictures you will need graphics program to prepare your pictures for the web. For example, you may want to crop your images and reduce their size.
- Assemble and save your graphic files on your computer in preparation for putting them on your site.
- Consider copyright implications of using pre-existing images created by others.
A full description of these formats is beyond the scope of the How-to Guide but line art and graphics are likely to work well in the .gif format, and photographs or shaded and blended images are better in the .jpg format.
