I would like to know how in GoLive CS2 I can place my mouse over a person's face in group photo and have their name popup like is done in FaceBook. any help appreciated.

If you select an image on one of your web pages in GoLive then look in the inspector you'll find a place to enter alt text. Whatever you enter here is the text that will pop-up.

You'll see this when using Internet Explorer, however that's not the standard way to do it, so browsers that follow the standards like Firefox won't show that pop-up text. If you want it to pop-up in all browsers you need to do as follows:

Select your pic from one of the web pages in GoLive and switch to source view. You'll see the image code high-lighted and look like this:
< img="dirpath/pic.jpg" width="60" height="60" alt="person name">

Notice the alt="person name". This is what you entered in the inspector and is what IE will show. For other browsers you need to add title="person name" so it looks like this:
< img="dirpath/pic.jpg" width="60" height="60" alt="person name" title="person name">
