Photo and Images in Front Page

Please review copyright laws! Just because you can google, altavista, msn or other images does not mean that you can take these images to use on your web pages.

Some places that allow educational use include Microsoft Clip Art Gallery, FreeFoto, Free Images, Awesome Clip Art CoolClips and place such as The Smithsonian but be sure to read the fine print! It is always better to use your own photos.

First, be sure you have saved your photo or image in your website file!

Go to "Insert" > "Picture" > "From File". Browse for your picture and click on it.

If the picture is HUGE, right click on it and choose "auto thumbnail".

When you publish you need to publish both the page and the pictures!

Ideally you should use imaging software such as PhotoShop.

These options allow you to reduce the size of your photos to increase the speed that your page loads. We've all been to those sites that take f o r e v e r to load.

The image to the right is 150 x 223 pixels.

Two important options are: Image -->image size

and File --> "Save for Web"

Alternatively you can use the auto thumbnail feature by right clicking a photo when you insert it (Insert --> Picture --> From File or Clipart.
