Adding pictures to a layout/ extra module /etc:
<img src="IMAGE URL GOES HERE">  Paste that code where you wanna put a pic, then add the photo's url where it says to.   If you don't know how to find a picture's url, this is what you do: right click on the image, and then hit "properties."  That'll take you to the url.

Want a code that you don't see here?  Leave a comment, and I'll try to find the code for you.
