Of course, you can't do just print on your new webpage. You're going to want to spruce it up with images, videos, banners, etc. Basically, anything you want can be inserted.
Any images you want to include should first be downloaded and saved in the same directory as your .htm files come from. This allows for easier coding and for faster retrieval when the page is called on. You should create a new file folder (directory) for each new web site or collection of pages that you want to create. This may make your site run smoother but also makes it easier for you to organize and to find files and images when you need to.
here is a generic example of an image being called
<img src="filename.ext" width="100" height="100" border="0" alt="text describing the image" />
there are a number of important arguments that should be included:
1. the filename. This has to include the file and the extension. (.jpg or .gif for example). If you have the files all in the same directory then it doesn't need directions. Otherwise the full directory address will need to be used each time.
2. the width and height of the image can be set. This will stretch or compact the file as needed but
gives you control of the size rather than taking the default which may take up your whole page.
3. border. You can set a border and how wide it is around your image. This helps your image
stand out better on the page.
4. The text. This allows you to put a caption in to help describe the image if necessary.
Coding for including videos or java apps on your pages can be found in the html tag tables on the first page. Each of these will also include many arguments to let you format the object being included but often they might be sourced from other pages. To do this you must be able give your page the address of other sites. This is usually done using an link.
Links in HTML require a <A href= "http://www.website's address"> linkable text </A> tag
Any text or image can be made clickable for a hyperlink using this code. As you build your website, links back and forth between your pages should be included for your visitors ease of use.
