Putting images on your page
To put an image on your page you must use the <IMG> tag. Notice that I say tag and not tags.

You can use the ALT property for when a picture doesn't show up:
<img src="nothing.jpg" alt="Picture not available">
Result:

<a href="http://www.html.com">click here</a>
And this is what you'll get:

<a href="http://www.html.com"><img src="lrnhtml1.jpg" border="0"></a>
Viewing other people's source code
If you would like to take a look at the code of a website, all you have to do is click on the "View" menu and choose "Source" while viewing the website. You can steal their source code if you like but it's better if you do your own coding so that you are actually learning something.
