First upload the graphics as you would your pictures. After adding them make sure you check the box that says "Hide on site" next to the graphics you just added. That will keep them from showing up on your pictures page. Then go to the page where you would like to use a graphic and do the following:
1. Click the ‘Insert/Edit Pictures, Audio, & Video’ button  . This button is on the front page, family page, and stories page editor.
2. Click ‘Select Picture’.
3. A pop-up window will appear. Click the graphic that you just added.
4. You can adjust the size and other setting if you wish or just click OK.

code from another site on my BabyHomePages.net site?

How can
I link to my baby registry?
First select (highlight) the text or image that you would like to
link to your baby registry and click on the link button
 . In the pop-up window enter the
address (URL) of your baby registry. To get the address, go to your
registry website and copy the address from the address bar. For
example, "http://www.registry.com?name=yourname". Paste
the address in place of the text above. That's it! Please remember
that we do not allow linking to other websites for advertising or
link-building.
How do I
get icons, counters and other things for my site?
Some members are able to do things like that because they have inserted
HTML and/or JavaScript code. There are many, many sites out there
where you can copy and paste HTML and JavaScript in to your administration
area.
How do
I add a background picture or color?
For a background picture: In pictures area click on the picture
you want and then copy the location in your browser. It will look
something like: http://www.babyhomepages.net/scripts/watermark.php?image=pic1.jpg&sitename=test
When editing a page insert the following code (replace the red part):
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
BODY {
background-image: url(http://www.babyhomepages.net/scripts/watermark.php?image=pic1.jpg&sitename=test);
}
</STYLE>
To change the background color:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
BODY {background-color: blue;}
</STYLE>
Adding a background image may not work with all of the styles that
are available.
How do I add scrolling
text and/or pictures?
Simply add this code replacing the part in red:
<marquee>This is the text that you want
to scroll</marquee>
OR
<marquee><img src="http://www.babyhomepages.net/yoursite/baby_pic/picture.jpg"
width="150"></marquee>
How do I
add a link for my visitors to vote for my site?
Add this HTML code replacing the part in red with your site name.
<a href="http://www.babyhomepages.net/favoritesite.php?sitename=test">Vote
for this site</a>
How do I
add a pop up message?
Paste this code in to your HTML:
<script language="Javascript1.2">
alert("Your message here");
</script>
How do I do other
things like Mouse trails and interactive things?
If you go to sites like dynamicdrive.com
you can copy and paste JavaScript code in to your site. Look under
"Mouse and Cursor" for that one. There are many sites
that offer JavaScript code just search Google for more.
How do
I really customize my site without knowing a lot of HTML
If you are using the Blank style, you can customize just about everything
(like the navigation) by using a little HTML and a little Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS). They are short pieces of code that you can copy
and paste on to your site.
Please see this page for instructions
on customing the Blank style.
This page explains how to add borders
(frames) around your site.
