How to Make Images Appear on Websites Via Dreamweaver 8

1. Select an appropriate image. Website images must be saved in a format web browsers understand. Popular formats include JPEG, GIF and PNG. Images must also be small enough to fit on most screens. Generally speaking, the image should be no wider than 800 pixels.
2. Place your selected image in the same folder as your webpage. Keeping your images and webpages in the same place makes keeping track of them easier. It also makes uploading website files to your server simpler.

3. Open your webpage in Dreamweaver 8. Click 'File' in the menu at the top of your screen, then select 'Open.' Find the webpage where you want to insert the image, then double-click its icon to open it.
4. Insert your image. Click your mouse on the line or in the table cell where you want your image to appear. Click 'Insert' in the menu at the top of your screen, then select 'Image.' Find the image file you want to insert, then double-click its icon to insert it.
5. Add alt text to the image. Alt text labels describe webpage images. If a visitor views your page in a web browser that cannot show images, or if an image file is missing, alt text provides information about the content of the image. Add alt text to the image you just placed by clicking it and entering a brief description in the field labeled 'Alt,' found in the 'Properties' toolbar. Finally, save all of your changes by clicking 'File,' then selecting 'Save.'
6. View your updated webpage. Open the webpage you just updated in your browser. The image you added in Step 4 appears on the screen. Place your mouse over the image, and the alt text created in Step 5 appears as well.
