Hi Rick --
Are you talking about html markup? Use the img element with appropriate
attributes.
For interface with screen readers, be sure the image has an alt tag -- for
example:
<img src="mypicture.jpg" alt="yellow smily" ... />
where the ellipsis is any other attributes, including height and width,
javascript events to make it clickable or whatever, etc.
The picture should display and the descriptive alt text should be spoken by
screen readers.
That is a first stab at an intro to images.
Try it and see how it goes.
Have fun.
Actually for me, this stuff would be more fun if I could validate the placement
of things myself without a sighted assistant.
I have found it frustrating to convey what I want to sighted persons who not
only misunderstand me or else can't convey to me what they are seeing.
Oh well, all part of sight loss.
Enjoy.

Subject: Working with Pictures
Hi All: Well, I am starting to add pictures to my Website's pages. I started
with a background image. Now I am going to have to research how to work with
pictures, thumbnails and icons. Is there anything out there that is a good
starting point for research? I am thinking about articles, tools and the like
that I might use with a screen reader to work with those thingys.
I sort of got stuck sizing and positioning.
Thanks:
Rick USA
