Animated Gif's

Direct Linking - This is an internet NO NO!
This is where you link a graphic to your web page by coding it so that the graphic
comes from someone else`s computer (or their server's computer) instead
of your own (or your server's computer).
This causes not only your graphics to load slower,
or may appear as a missing icon, it steals bandwidth ...
which is very costly for those you are doing this to!

When you do this you are grabbing badwidth from someone else's server?
When you do it to me... it slows down the webpages from loading onto my visitor's screen.
...don't do it! It's not fair to my visitors!

Some servers charge their users for any extra bandwidth that they use.
This is not very fair to the graphic artist who has to "pay" extra money out
because "you" are using his/her graphics for "free" ...the WRONG way!

Okay... so what's the correct way?
If it's okay with the original artist, you need to "DOWNLOAD" the graphics
to your computer's hard drive... then "UPLOAD" them to your server.
Q: I don't know how to DOWNLOAD or UPLOAD.
A: Download PC users: By clicking with your "right" button on your mouse.
MAC users: By clicking on the graphic with your mouse button and
hold it down for a few seconds.
When the little screen pops up, select to "SAVE".

"Upload" to your server.
If you don't know how, ask your server how to upload to their system.
Most use a FTP program and can tell you how to use the program.
