There are many ways to do this.
(These are just general overviews. For step by step would require a
LOT more than this)
1. When you receive an email advert, the body of the email has html
code in it. If a picture is used, the html points (usually) to a web
server somewhere (could be your web site) where that giff file is
stored. Did you ever notice that if you are off-line and try to view
the email with pictures, that the pictures are not there? This is the
reason why. So you need to have a web site where you can store the
content (giffs), and you have to know how to write the html so that
the giffs will be called into the email. You can learn this by
studying the code of email adverts.
2. It is possible to have the giffs and all contained in the body of
the email, but there is a problem with it. If your intended recipient
is using AOL (for example), they will receive a notice that the email
has "attachments" "do you wish to download". There are several email
software clients that are specifically designed to let you write the
html code in the email and embed the pictures as well. For example do
a google search for key word mailworkz, or "email marketing".
3. Microsoft Outlook does a very nice job of creating email web pages.
You can even cut and paste the page you create in Dreamweaver.
Good luck! (Expect to spend a few hours experimenting but you can do
