The Tripod Insider
THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Guru
Let's break it down. The recipe for a tasty Web site calls for just
the right mix of text and images. But how do you find fresh ingredients?
Words can be tough. But once inspiration strikes, all that's required
is clicking keys. Images aren't so easy. Say you're searching for a
photo of a penguin. What do you do? "Borrowing" from other sites is
common, but not nice and often illegal. Taking your own snapshot of a
flightless aquatic fowl is possible. But have you checked airfare to
the antarctic lately? Not to worry. Our new Image Gallery has over
10,000 images. All free. All easy to add to your pages. Choose from
photos, clip art, and other site essentials. Like penguins.
