However it does help to have a photo gallery to show something about the holiday destination as a supplement to the web site. The main bulk of the web site should be written content with information and reviews that should be useful to the visitors making research about the area. And this is where abstract ideas are best expressed in words rather than by pictures.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAnother use for images is picture diagrams which serve to illustrate a point clearly, so those too should be used when you make your own web site, and enhance your visitor&#8217;s experience.\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"make-your-own-web-site-15-html-how-it-works.html\">Learning HTML basics<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"make-your-own-web-site-16-text-formatting.html\">HTML Text formatting<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"make-your-own-web-site-17-more-text-formatting.html\">More HTML Text formatting<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"make-your-own-web-site-18-adding-images.html\">Adding images to your website<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"make-your-own-web-site-19-anchors-links.html\">Making links and anchors when you make your own web site<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"make-your-own-web-site-20-tables-rows-columns.html\">Creating tables, rows and columns in your web site<\/a>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n<p><b>More related HTML tutorials<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janleow.com\/life\/html-basics.html\">Learning HTML codes for building a web page<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janleow.com\/life\/html-01-the-basics.html\">Lesson 1 &#8211; The Basic HTML Tag<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janleow.com\/life\/html-02-creating-a-website-page.html\">Lesson 2 &#8211; Create a website page<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janleow.com\/life\/html-03-text-formatting.html\">Lesson 3 &#8211; Text formatting tags<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janleow.com\/life\/html-04-text-alignment.html\">Lesson 4 &#8211; Aligning the paragraph text<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janleow.com\/life\/html-05-making-ordered-bulleted-list.html\">Lesson 5 &#8211; Making bullet list and numbered list<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janleow.com\/life\/html-06-html-table-codes-border.html\">Lesson 6 &#8211; Create tables in your website<\/a>\n<\/ul><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s a web site without pictures?
