You could use a small 'thumbnail' picture as a Link to a full size
picture file like this:

<A HREF="fullsize.jpg"><IMG SRC="thumb.jpg" ALT="Thumb Pic" BORDER="0"></A>

     Now you would be able to click on the smaller "thumb.jpg" picture,
and then the "fullsize.jpg" picture would show up.  This would make your
web page load faster, and still give the user an option to view the longer
loading full size picture (but they will have to use their Back button to
get back to your web page this way).

     As with most HTML tags, the options are just that, optional.  So you
can leave out the ALT= and BORDER= parts if you want to.  But, it's nicer
if you do include them for Images.  Also, if you do include the ALT= part,
then (with some web browsers) whenever the user moves the mouse over the
Image, that text will show up to further explain what the Image is (as
well as explaining what it was to someone who is using a web browser that
does not display Images, or has turned that feature off).

     If you need more information about using Borders, read Section 14
about ADDING IMAGES/GRAPHICS.

     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).
