• I just used the same banner as before and cut it in half. Add in the height=pixel# width=pixel#">. The original image was 400 pixels by 40 pixels, so I just made it 200 by 20.

When making your own image for your web page, you have to make it in a format of a gif or a jpeg/jpg. These are usually the most commonly supported formats. To make them, you need to use a graphics program like Photoshop, which will convert the image to a gif form for you. Or if you use something less powerful like Color-It, you'll have to get the Shareware program called "Gif Converter". (You should be able to find it on my web page. If not, e-mail me and I'll tell you where to get it.) Draw your image in your graphics program and then copy and paste it into a new document inside of Gif Converter. Then save it as a gif. It's pretty simple. The hard part is drawing quality images. But even the most simple images are the most popular.

(Below is where you put the alt="">.
