How Do I Insert Free Clip Art on My Web Page?
You can insert clip art to your web page to emphasize areas of your page. It’s important to check that an image is not copyrighted before adding it. You can use free clip art where the owner asks for a link back or use an image that's in public domain. Public domain images are open to the public and may be used freely. You can use hypertext markup language (HTML) to link the image file to your HTML. You should save the image to your web folder and link to it there before placing the image on the web.
