page creation/format question

I have a few questions on pages:

When I go in and create a "new" page in the admin section of Sitefinity, is there a "physical" page being created or is it stored in the database?

On one of my pages, I have an image that appears correctly in design mode of the page, however when I run that page in preview mode, it does not, how can I place the image so it appears correctly on the page outside of the 'Edit' mode?

Image buttons: I need to add image buttons on my page and the gif files are referenced within my css, how can i place these image buttons on my page and link them to the page? Would I do this via the edit mode of the page? The image change when the user mouses over them

Hi DotNetGuy,

1. There's no physical page. Everything goes through a Sitefinity route handler, all information about a page is kept in the database.
2. How did you place this image in the first place? I tried this with the Image control in the toolbox and everything shows correctly in preview mode.
3. I cannot understand what you want to achieve with these link buttons. If you want to be able to configure them through the CMS and edit their properties, then you can wrap them in user controls and add them to the toolbox. You can include your CSS styles in your theme, or you can link them through the server code of your custom control, they will work fine. Please describe your scenario in more detail.
