Saving pictures
As a special note, pictures need to be in the same file as the html document or they won't work. If the picture is missing, or in a different file, you'll simply seen an "image not available" icon like this ==>. Make sure you save the pictures in the same file as the HTML document. This is also true when uploading a page to the internet. You must not only upload the html, but the pictures as well.

There is another way to have a picture on your website. Instead of putting the relative location, you can put the absolute location. In other words, you can give the complete address if it's located on the internet. This would look like:
<img src="pageofmystery.com/SPOF/program/floppy.gif">
Please, only use this to link to one of your pictures, not someone else's. If you use another person's picture this way, you are stealing bandwidth and that's very bad. If you must use another person's images, save them to your own computer and upload them to your site. Be sure to give them credit.
