This is a nice set of graphics we found while surfing, including backgrounds and animated gifs. We thought that there were some nice backgrounds in their library. Here's a link right to the background page: BACKGROUNDS The background on this page is from their site. To use a background, simply save it as instructed on the site. On your control panel, you would click the BACKGROUNDS button. You will see a BROWSE button that you can click to search for the file you saved, and it will upload to your site. This website has some very attractive backgrounds and other graphics. Many are related to kids and school, but some can also be used to give your website a "country" look or for other purposes. All they ask for using their graphics is a link back. How do you save these backgrounds to use on your control panel? If you click the smaller picture of the background you like, it will show up full screen. Then, on most computers you can click your right mouse button and choose "Save Background As" to save the file on your computer. You can then upload it on the control panel's background screen using the Browse button to locate the file you saved. Here is a link directly to their backgrounds page: Backgrounds The notebook style backgrounds have a nice effect, and many other styles are available.

Again, you can click your right mouse button on the picture you want to use, and then choose "save picture as" to save it on your computer to use on your control panel. Are your graphics too large when you upload them to your website? Do you need to convert from file formats, such as TIF to formats that will work on the Web, such as JPG and GIF? You can do this sort of editing in most graphics programs, such as Adobe PhotoDeluxe and Adobe Photoshop. For those of you who don't have access to one of these programs or just want something simpler, we found this great little program that is free to download and use. It will do the job without taking much room on your computer or requiring you to learn a complicated graphics program. (For Windows Computers. Just 1.5MB) Click Here to Download To Install after Downloading: Note: If you are reuploading the picture to your website, make sure you save your resized picture with a different name than the original one you uploaded, such as mypicture2.jpg. This is a fantastic free Website. As described by Gifworks, "It's an online GIF image editor. This unique tool is completely on-line -- nothing to download or install. Better yet, it's ABSOLUTELY FREE -- no prepaid tokens or subscriptions." We tried out their on-line program. It works great for editing GIF images. Use this tool to make your images "transparent" for a more professional look. This is a great site with a ton of free graphics, including 3D GIF animations, backgrounds, clip art, and much more! The animated cow shown above on our page can be found on this site. This site doesn't have graphics of its own. It's a "portal" to other great free graphics sites. They have links to free animations, clip-art, and more. Microsoft has thousands of clipart pictures available for many categories. Type in a search word and come up with pages of free graphics. The way we read Microsoft's acceptable use policy, is that you can use these pictures for free as long as you have a Microsoft program, such as Microsoft Office, Word, Excel, etc. This covers most people. As with most free graphics, you can use these graphics for your own projects and are not allowed to resell them to others. This is another "portal" site offered by the search engine Lycos. It is an excellent compilation of links and downloads, including backgrounds, clip-art, graphics tools, and more. Nice patriotic backgrounds and other gifs. | Return Home | SiteRightNow Pricing | START HERE | SiteRightNow NEWS! | FAQ Page | Virtual Tour | Marketing Your Site | Free Graphics | Contact Info | Customer Login | |
