This is my image that I created using Word Art - converted to a .bmp in Paint where I edited it - saved as a .gif in Microsoft Photo Editor

Here is what I did, step by step...

NOTE: Some versions of Paint allow you to save as a .gif.

I got this picture by going to www.whitehouse.gov and right clicking on the image and then saving it. It saved as a .gif file so I could then include it on this page.

When you are dealing with images for Web Pages, you should only use gifs and jpegs. When you create an image, you need to use some kind of a application that allows you to create one of these image types.
