download this tutorial as a pdfThere may be occasions when you would like to download a picture from the web for a variety of reasons. This is how to do it.
Simply as an exercise, let us say that you want to copy a picture of Venice to attach to an email or insert in your ‘blog’. (A blog is simply a Web diary.)
1. Go to the Google site www.google.com and search for Venice. You will immediately be presented with a load of web pages referring to the Italian city but this is not what we want – we want a picture.
