Images

The schedule is right, images will be very important when making the website.  A website that is nothing but a block of text, no matter how cleverly formatted, would be very boring indeed.  Images are great at bringing subjects to life.  To that end, I have located some photographs to use on my website.  One shows a train rushing towards the train station at New Waverly.  Though the picture was not taken during the early years of New Waverly, it does help to show how essential the railroad was to the growth of the town.  Another is a group of Polish musicians from New Waverly.  This photograph humanizes the story of these immigrants.  They are obviously regular people, who play music for fun.  It helps the reader (or is it viewer? I don't know what the term is for websites) to empathize and relate to the people they are learning about.
