Notes on saving graphics:
Please note restrictions the creator of the graphics might have. Some freely distribute icons, buttons, symbols, etc. Some make clear that images are free for personal web site usage, but not free for professional web pages. Some ask that you give credit. Most ask that you do not LINK to their graphic images, but that you save the images to your own diskette or computer. Please be a good "netizen:" Observe the restrictions and give credit accordingly. For more information on copyright issues and images see Considering Copyright Issues.
