Making a webpage isn't the easiest thing in the world, so don't get discouraged if you're having trouble. There's plenty of help out there.
These are some of the sites that I've found helpful along the way. Without them I probably would have been completely lost.

Using Graphics

To save webpage graphics to use on your webpage:
(1) Click your right mouse button on the image that you want to save.
(2) Click your left mouse button on "save image as"
(3) Decide if you want to save the image on your hard-drive (C:) or on a floppy disk (A:)
(4) Type in what you want the name of the image to be
(5) Click "Save"

You now have the image on a disk or on your hard-drive, so you need to go to your webpage editor (wherever you work on your webpage), and upload the image. Your webpage editor will have instructions telling you how to upload images to your website.




Using Graphics on WEBTV

If you are a WebTV user, you won't be able to save graphics. Some WebTV users link to images on other peoples' websites as a method of decorating their webpages since they can't save images themselves. This is a definite internet-no-no!
Do not put a burden on a webmaster's site by putting a link to his/her image on your webpage. This will cause the person's site to slow down, and some webmasters have even had to shut down their sites because of this irresponsible behavior.

One way for you to get images onto your website (without linking to someone else's) is to e-mail the webmaster of the site from which you want to take some graphics. Tell him/her that you use WebTV and can't save images, and let them know which graphics you would be interested in using on your website. Most people will be happy to e-mail you a few images from their site - I would J
Then you can use your WebTV system to get the images up on your site - this would involve transloading, a technique with which I'm not familiar since I don't use WebTV.
