For Mac Users

For mac users, how do you add a photo to a page? Because I'm using a mac and Safari, it wont show me the pictures button on the tool bar, so I don't know how to go about adding a picture. Do you find this valuable?

Oh wow, I have a Mac but I've always used Firefox. When I just tried logging on in Safari you're right, most of the "Page Edit" tools aren't there. I don't think there's really any way to correct it - it just says they're "not supported."

Do you have any other web browsers, such as Firefox, on your computer?

Snap :) I'm using a mac and safari too. I don't like Firefox personally though I've got it on the computer and my Dad uses it all the time.

OK, you don't need the pictures button - I have it but never use it. What you have to do is if your picture is on the internet then click and drag off the screen off your window so it appears as a folder, if it is in an image folder of just a normal folder then just do the same. Then, get the page open on which you wish to place the image, position the typing tool(this isn't a neccerity but it helps) and simply drag the photo(represented as a folder) on to your web page. Hope that helped!

Happy to be of service XD

I simply don't use Firefox because prefer Safari's page layout to it's one. That simple.
