Inserting Images
All web pages are created by using at least a few simple tags. It is my belief that the three most natural tags to use in an HTML document are the tags for paragraphs, linking sites together, and displaying images.
Images
Although text content is usually the ultimate focus of a visitor's purpose to a web page, the initial draw is usually due to any graphics that peak the reader's interest or sense of aesthetics. The most common file types for use on the web are GIF and JPEG files. Although more file types may be used, it is desired to stay away from them due to compatibility problems in certain browsers. An image is an empty element, consisting of just one tag (instead of separate beginning and end tags).
An image may be either local (within the same web site) or global (on another web site) as long as the file path (where the image is located) is typed correctly into the code. This path indicates where the browser may find the image file on the web.
A typical image may look something like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML for Beginners - Basic HTML</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/file.jpg" />
</p>
</body>
</html>
And will produce
