Section 1 - "Why should I use images in my webpage"

The first important thing to remember is that you are not required to place a single image on any webpage you ever write. However, images do have several practical uses. "A picture is worth a thousand words." Unfortunately, they also take about as long to download as a thousand words. That is why moderation is very important. Never use more images than are needed to accomplish your goal.

Section 2 - Uses for Images.

Displaying an item, as opposed to describing it.
Used as a background.
Replace boring Horizontal Rulers (like the one above).
Creating fancy bullets for lists like this.
Used as links.
Used to make a blank area of page seem more filled out.
