How to Create Mouse-Over Images on Links in Yahoo SiteBuilder
Website design programs have become increasingly feature-rich over the past decade. As more updates become available to such programs, end users are offered far more features then ever before. Now most website builder programs allow users to create images that are links, and even add mouse over images to the links. The benefit of this is typically found when making buttons. When a visitor scrolls the mouse cursor over the button, a mouse over image appears, which can make it look like they are actually pressing down on the button.

Tips & Warnings
You can add mouse over image links to any image that you have a link imbedded to. Always use a different picture, or a darkened version of the same picture for a mouse over image link.
Always test your website by using the hotkey “F12” to see what it will look like when published, prior to actually publishing the website.
