title: What image type should I use when? GIF, JPG or PNG?
body: <p>I am trying to create a personal home page for myself to learn more about web design (JavaScript, using Photo Shop, etc). I plan on having a graphical menu on the left, a banner across the top and also a "Photos" section where I can display photos of various pictures I have taken.</p>
  
  <p>However, when I look at other sites that do anything similar, I see some using GIFs, and some use JPGs and some even use PNGs. Is there any difference between these? Should I use a GIF for graphical images used on the site and JPGs for my photos? Should I make everything PNGs?</p>
