Use graphics to create visual pages. GoLive makes it easy to add images to your Web pages.

Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 1 minute

Here's How:

  1. Open the Objects window (Type ctrl+2 if it's not visible).
  2. Drag an image object over to your Web page, and drop it where you want the image.
  3. Click on the yellow file icon and browse to the image you want to add.
  4. Type alt text in the "Alt Text" field.

Tips:

  1. You can insert GIF, JPG, or PNG files onto Web pages.
  2. If you want the image to be a different size, you should resize it using Photoshop or another graphics editor.
  3. Try to keep your graphics under 12K in size. Too large graphics will take a long time to download and will drive people from your site.
  4. Animated graphics are nice, but they can get really annoying. Also, many ads use animations, so your animations may look like advertisements.
