By Tiffany R.

How is the Image made with HTML? First of all, you would use the element to define an image. Secondly, you have to use the HTML src attribute to define the URL of the image. Then, you want to us the alt attribute to define an alternate text for an image, if it cannot be displayed.Lastly, you use the width and height attribute to make the size of your image of how big you want it to be. There are many other attributes to make differnent types of Images to a webpage. When you are done it should look something like this: img src="your webpage name" alt="name of picture".
