How to Cite Sources for an Image in Dreamweaver
There's nothing like images to grab Internet viewers' attention to your Web page and the Adobe Dreamweaver software makes inserting images onto a website a matter of a couple of clicks. When you want to cite your image sources, giving credit to the artists who created those pictures, Dreamweaver facilitates that process as well. Citing sources in Dreamweaver is possible through options directly on the Web page like a caption or through more hidden pop-up alternative text.
