How to Download Graphics from
The Internet and Use Them

    It's really simple---
-

    Sample... how to save graphics...Windows Users: Hold your mouse pointer over the image and click your right mouse button. A menu will appear.  Choose "Save Image As" to save the image to your hard drive.
    -
    MAC Users: Hold your mouse pointer over the image. Click and hold down the mouse button. A menu will appear. Select: "Save Image" to save the image to your hard drive.


    -
    NOTE:   We have received several emails from people who say their menu doesn't have the exact word phrase "Save Image As."  Just use a little common sense.  If your menu says "Save Picture As" or "Save Image File As" it's the same thing.   Just take your "best guess" and see what happens.  The computer won't blow up and you might discover a new trick...

What do you do now?
-
You save it to your hard drive.  Save it in the same directory where you keep your web pages or perhaps on a disk or even for easier access on your Desktop.  

If the above did not answer your questions, please feel free to contact us for technical support questions.

We know who you are...in fact we track everyone who visits our site. So please do the right thing and upload to your own Internet Service Provider (ex.: angelfire, yahoo, excite, netzero, geocities).  If you do not know what this means, please click and go to this informative website A word to the Wise  and find out more.

Other Useful Tips

How To Copy/Paste

This tip will save you a lot of typing! In order to copy/paste:

1. To highlight, place your mouse cursor to the left of the text you would like to copy. Hold down your left mouse button and drag it over the text you wish to highlight. Release your mouse button. You will see the text highlighted!
2. Click on edit.  Click on Copy. Your text is now copied.
3. Move to the document or area you wish that text to be placed. Left click your mouse to place your cursor where you want it pasted.
4. Click on edit.  Click on Paste.

You have now moved the text without typing everything all over again. This is the first function I learned when Windows first came out! It's a very helpful tool and saves time.

Placing Your Border Backgrounds

To use a border design on your web pages so that your text is aligned correctly for Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers, place this code in your HTML document just after the body background and text color tags:

<table width=85% align=right><tr><td>

You can still use this method by adjusting the table width. If your content is still not aligned correctly, decrease the table width. At the very end of your page, just before the closing body & html tags, close your table like this:

</td></tr></table>

Placing Your Music

To place music on your web page music plays consistently, place this code in your HTML document:

<bgsound="song.mid"><embed src="song.mid" autostart=true controls width=51 height=15 controls=smallconsole loop=true></embed>

Placing Fonts On Your Website

To place a specified font on your web page, this is a sample code to use in your HTML document:

<font size= "3" face="Book Antiqua">

Place your text on the site. At the end of your text place:

<font><font>

You can change your fonts

Or Even Like this!

Just remember one thing ~ if you have downloaded a font from a site and you place that font in your HTML code, it may be a font others do not normally keep in their computers. In this case, your font will default back to the normal font. Others will not see your special font. However, you will be able to see it because you have it in your computer.

To AOL Users

If you are building a site on AOL and are using a AOL browser in order to copy/save images to your own harddrive, under your Preference menu, turn off the Use Compressed Graphics option. Without this option, the images will be saved in an AOL format and will give you broken images when we all visit your site using Netscape or MSIE (Internet Explorer).   For further information see: Web Development on America Online.

If you are viewing our site with AOL 3.0, go to keyword "Preferences"; if your using 4.0, go to "My AOL", then choose the option "Preferences". Click on the "WWW" button. Click on the "Web Graphics" tab. UNCHECK the "Use Compressed Graphics" box, click on "apply", then "ok".

If not, try to keep in mind that our sites are correct, just not to you and other people who are using AOL's browser.  We know what the problem is, we just can not fix it for you, but maybe you can. I have listed several options above to help set your browser and computer to the correct specifications in order to browse our site and the site of millions of other people correctly.

If you are using a MAC, click-HOLD when you are over the image of your choice, then save to your hard drive.

Thank you for reading the above and have a happy day!
