Important Notes to Remember:

  • Images
    • Do not use spaces in filenames when renaming a graphic.
    • Images must be JPEG or GIF. JPEG is best for photos and GIF is best for line art/cartoons.
  • Copyright and Permission
    • All images on the web are protected under copyright unless they are public domain or it is otherwise indicated that they are "free". If this is not stated, ask for permission or purchase the right to use them. Sometimes they request that you credit them and link back to their page. Just because it is easy to obtain does not mean it is legal.
    • Do not use any student pictures without first seeking written permission from a parent or guardian.
    • Do not use any faculty pictures without first seeking written permission.
