Here are some (I hope) helpful tips on how to copy graphics

To make a graphic appear, you must load it AND refer to it in your HTML code.  There are two steps for making images appear, and you must follow both steps1 and 2 below!

Put your mouse cursor on the graphic you would like to copy. Let's say it's this Snow Globe.

 Click on the image with your right mouse button.  When you do, a little pop up box will appear, like below.  Highlight "Save picture as".  Your screen will look like this:

A new box will now pop up, and it will ask you where you want to save the image to.  It looks like this:

You will now have to decide where you would like to save the image. You can save  it to your hard drive, but make sure you chose a folder where you will remember later where you put it. Or you can put a floppy disc in the drive, and save your graphic to that disc.   Sometimes it is easier this way, because you then only need to search the directory of the "A" drive. In the example I'm showing you, the graphic is being saved to a 3 1/2 floppy disc, which is also called the "A drive".  The name of the graphic is "roxydollani."  The name appears automatically, or you can rename it to something else if you want.  Click the word "save," and the graphic will be saved to your floppy disc.

OK, you've got the graphic you want, but how do you put it on your page?  You have to do 2 things:

1. You have to upload the graphic to your own directory. How you do that  depends on who your server is. 

I'm using an example from a former free hosting site, Gurlpages. Even though that is no longer in existence, it will give you and idea of how to log in and load graphics.  You log in with your name and your password, and you are taken to a screen that looks like this:

Scroll down to the bottom of that page.  You will come to a place that looks like this:

See where it says "Browse"? Click on it, and you will see a box pop up called "Choose File".  If you saved "roxydollani" to a floppy disc, go to A where it says "Look in".  Find the name "roxydollani" and highlight it.  Your screen will look like this:

Click "Open."  The name of the file you clicked will now appear in the box under the word "File," like this:

Click the box that says "Upload," and the image will now be uploaded into your directory. You'll see a message telling you you've done it right, like this:

  You do essentially the same thing in other servers. Note that in some of them, all graphics and midi files are stored in a separate directory, called images. You load a midi the same way, and you load a background image this way, too. 

OK, you're with me so far, which means that you almost understand everything.  Now you have to figure out how to write the html code for putting an image on your own page.  Let's start with the Roxydoll12 Globe.  This is what the html code for that graphic looks like:

<p align="center"><img src="http://www.gurlpages.com/art/roxydoll12/images/roxydollani.gif"></a>

See that my address is there?  That's cause it's the html code for the image on MY Gurlpages page. To write the code for your page, you would substitute YOUR address for mine.  Here's how:

1.First, you refer to the name of the page. In my example, I gave my address, http://www.gurlpages.com/art/roxydoll12, so substitute your own address. Whatever your address is, put it in where I have pink writing above

2. Now, you have to refer to the actual name of the image. Notice that my image on Gurlpages goes into a directory called images.    If your page is on one of them, you need to keep in the word images in your code.  I'll show you where the word is by writing it below in pink:

http://www.gurlpages.com/art/roxydoll12/images/roxydollani.gif

If you are on Geocities, you would take out the word images when you write the code for your own image, (unless YOU have chosen to put all your own images into a directory called "images".  If you don't know what I'm talking about, you probably didn't!)  It would look like this:

http://www.geocities.com/yourgeocitiesname/roxydollani.gif

Where I have roxydollani.gif, put in the name of your image.  Be sure that the capitals and lower case letters match EXACTLY. And also be sure that the last three letters after the dot are exact too.

AND REMEMBER

You must also upload the image with your HTML code to make the image appear.  YOU MUST DO BOTH THINGS !!
