i have the image of a paw print and i would like ot be able to have it on my webiste so that you click on a different section of the paw to go to different section of the website.
i use 1st page to design my sites and write directly in html code so dreamweaver is not an option for me (1st page is free!)
could any one tell me how i could go about this please?

The procedure is called 'image mapping' - the clickable areas are referred to as 'hot spots'. It's easily done with Dreamweaver or similar packages. Since you don't have this, try the 'Poor Person's Image Mapper'. (I'm not being patronising, it's just that it's an online image map creator so you won't have to download anything.)

You'll probably need to go to an image-editing program and make each part of the paw as separate images. If you don't have one, try the free program, paint.NET. It's great and is like Photoshop only FREE! I had the same problem and that's how I did mine for my website. Good luck and e-mail me if you any questions. I'll help as best as I can.

Make each finger of the paw a different image (just use photoshop for this) and do the indivial links

It is not "difficult", but long.
Here is an example:
The difficult point is to set the coordinates of the points. They are referenced to the top left corner of the image (0, 0).
The values of "coords" are expressed in pixels, and the number of parameters depend on the shape of the area:
if shape="rect" then
coords="left,top,right,bottom"
if shape="circ" then
coords="centerx,centery,radius"
if shape="poly" then
coords="x1,y1,x2,y2,..,xn,yn"
(I you want a hexagon: 6 pairs of coordinates)
You don't have Dreamweaver? very good for you! You will probably become a true "CODER"
