To add an Image, Graphic, or Picture to your web page use this tag:

<IMG SRC="filename.ext" ALT="alternate text" BORDER="n">

     Of course, the "filename.ext" is the Source file you want to display.
The "alternate text" is any text you might want to show up for someone
using a web browser that does not display Images.  This would at least let
them know what picture was at this point instead of just getting "[Image]"
on their screen.  The "n" for the Border sets how wide (in Pixels) a Border
around the picture should be.  If the Image is also a Link, the Border will
be in the Color(s) you specified for LINK and VLINK in the Body tag.
Otherwise, the Border Color will be what you specified for the TEXT Color.
If you leave out the Border option, it will default to a 10 Pixel width.
Most web page authors turn off the Border by using a value of zero.

     You can also add an ALIGN option (like the one for the <Hn> Header
tag) to position the image left, right, or center.  Try to keep the Image
file size small, not only to increase load speed, but also so it fits on
the screen without having to scroll to view the whole thing.  If you want
to display a large picture, you could use a smaller 'thumbnail' to Link to
it instead (to allow your initial web page to load faster).

     I would have liked to show examples of this on this web page, but
that would not only take more work on my part (no big deal there), but
would also require additional file space, and take longer for this page
to load.  Besides, you can find many examples of Images, Graphics, and
Pictures with (or without) Borders and/or used as Links on many other
web pages (not to mention that you've probably seen more than enough of
them on my other web pages already).
