 * Overview of Website for today:**

We will be inserting some images today, so let's go to the www.google.com tab. In the search box, put a subject and select image on the Google page. School is a particular hard place to get pictures because so many get blocked. If you find one, right click on it, save image as, and save it on your desktop or in your H drive. Go back and repeat until you have a few pictures you like. We will use them soon for practice.
