Saving Your Webpage

You will be given two options for saving your webpage:
Option 1: emailing the HTML code of your page to your personal email address.
The page and images arrive as attachments in an email to you, and can be saved onto your hard drive in the folder that you created as a container for your webpage.

Images: Your images will arrive as attachments to the email, so you can "right-click on the attached image icon in the email message, and select the SAVE AS command to direct the saving of a copy of the image (without changing the image name) into the folder which contains your index.html file.
