Grabbing images from Internet to upload onto your easisite

'Borrowing' images from other web sites

So long as you know you are not infringing copyright, this is dead easy. Just go to the web site you want to take a picture from, use your mouse to position the pointer over the picture then right click and 'Save Picture As...'.

You can call the picture file anything you like - so long as you save it either as a 'JPEG (*.jpg)' or 'GIF (*.gif)' - and save it into any folder you like on your PC (for example in 'My Documents').

Then go to your easisite web site, click the update link and type in your password.

Once you are in 'edit' mode click to select or change picture. Then choose Upload your own picture and follow the instructions:

Step 1
Use the 'Browse' button to select the picture file on your computer.

Go to the folder where you have saved your picture, click on the picture and 'Open'. The picture file name will then appear in the 'Browse' box. Then...

Step 2
Use the 'Upload' button to send it to your web site

And that's that!

Just make sure you choose pictures that are roughly the right size and shape - unless you feel confident about using a drawing program to adjust them. (Note: easisites displays images as a square between 200 and 300 pixels across.)

Search engine image search facilities

AltaVista and Google have extensive photo catalogues.

Both have an 'Images' link at the top of the page. Just click on it and type in whatever you want a picture of (for example, 'machinery') and click on 'Search'.

Whatever you type in, you're bound to have any number of thumbnails to choose from.

When you've chosen, click on your choice (through to the originating site) and just follow the instructions above.
