Inserting Images...Part 2
  
 
What You'll Learn in this Section
  
You're going to save an image to your hard drive, then insert that very same image into your web page! Without further ado, let's begin.
 
     
 
Saving Images from the Internet
  
 
Although you could spend hours searching for just the right image to go with your web page, I took the liberty of corralling all of the images you'll need right here.
 
Image #1
  
 

(This cool kitty comes from Microsoft Publisher.)

  1. This differs slightly for PC and Mac users, so pay attention. Let's save the image of the cat first.  
 
PC Users: Right-click on top of the image you want to save. A window pops up that looks like this.
  
 
 
 
Mac Users: Simply hold down your mouse button on the image you want to save. If you hold it long enough a window should pop up.
  
  2. Both PC and Mac: Click on "Save Image As." A window should appear which allows you to choose where you want to save the image and what to name the image. It looks like this.  

PC
 

Mac

  
 
You're going to save this image to your desktop in the folder named after you.
 
 
 
  3. PC: Click on the down arrow next to "Save in:" and select "Desktop."  
 
 
  Mac: The Apple defaults to the Desktop, so you don't have to select anything. However, if Desktop is not selected, simply hit the "Desktop" button to the right. If you see your name at the top of the Save As window, then it means that's where you're going to save the image, which is exactly what you want to do.  
4. Both PC and Mac: If you selected the Desktop, then you're going to have to scroll up or down, find the folder named after you, and then double-click it. Everything's about you, isn't it? Always about you! Why don't you try to think about someone else for a change? The folder should have opened and you should see the "home.htm" file you created before.  
 

This is what it looks like on a PC.

  
  7. Both PC and Mac: Change the name of the file to "chalkboard" by highlighting "cat" and typing in "chalkboard." You can rename an image anything you want if it helps you organize your web page.  
 
 
  8. Both PC and Mac: After naming the image, click on "Save." The image should now be saved to your Desktop in a folder named after the only person you truly care about, yourself.  
 
Now repeat these steps and save the classroom image to your computer as well.
