Using something special:

Find a graphic one you like that is small (less than 2k). If you find one at a free clipart site, it is courtesy to store it on your own page if you intend to use it as a signature. To do that you:

point at it

right click

select Save Picture As

select a drive (M at school or C: at home and a directory)

modify the name if you want

go to Tripod (or some other place in cyberspace where you have space) and Upload it

put its URL between the "" .
For example <img src="http://yoursite/images/yourpicture.jpg">
Note: Rather than type that,

	point at the picture
	select Properties,
	highlight the URL (everything from http:// to gif or jpg)
	point at the highlighted letters
	right click
	copy
