OK, now feel free to go back and change your page as much as you want to, just remember to save it each time. Then load it into your Web browser and take a look at it and test it. Netscape provides a handy Reload button, so if you leave the filename the same each time you modify the file and save it, just hit Reload and the new version will come up so you can look at it. You want to put in some graphics. Being considerate of the users who will hit your home page, you are not going to put in any really BIG graphic files.
Small graphics load much more quickly than big ones.
Save it in .gif format under a slightly different name, and you have a graphic file to put into your home page. Be sure to put the .gif into the same directory as your home page. You will be creating a link to the .gif and it loads more quickly if the browser doesn't have to look far to find it. When you upload your home page to your Internet provider, make sure you upload your .gif images to the same directory that you put your .htm files in. The following code tells the browser to load a .gif image and place it on the righthand side of your home page.
