To place an image on the page, simply drag the image file onto the PageMill document and move it into place. Use paragraph alignment to align the image, or put it within an existing paragraph. To link text or an object to an image file, first highlight the object or text in PageMill, then drag the image file onto the selection. To create a text link to an image file using the filename, hold down the ALT key and drag the image onto the page. The first three buttons are designed to align within a single line of text, while the last two select options for wrapping text around an object.
Many people browse with images turned off, with text browsers, or with audio-browsers.
Instead of images, these users will see or hear whatever text label you have assigned to them. For ADA compliance, it is necessary to use such labels but it is also just good web design. Let me don my Zen Master Roshi Robes for a moment and stress the need for balance. Creating a web site is, like teaching, about content and presentation. Too many gee-whiz, spinning graphics and after waiting all day for the page to download only to find it wasn't what was needed anyway, and we end up with a student at the top of Gruening doing an Oswald.
