Web Tips for MembersGet your personal webspace @ Yahoo for us to link to Downsizing Image ScansSome tips on why and how to down-size scans, photos or graphic files are located at http://www.fathersforlife.org/REA/howtoscantxtdocs.htm. The discussion at that page focuses on scans of text files, but if you read the instructions relating to PhotoShop at that page, you will understand how the principles apply to all graphics files. ... Tip: you should set the resolution of graphic files to 72dpi (default resolution for most monitors), not 300dpi, and you should also specify small horizontal and vertical dimensions (in pixels) for graphics files. You will then have the best combination of resolution and display size.To post photos or graphics with their reduced dimensions to specific web pages, choose in your HTML editor the options: Picture Properties + Appearance, and make sure the box under "Specify Size" is not checked. The picture will then be displayed with the default dimensions specified in the file for it. Reducing the display size for a file via your HTML editor will reduce the display size all right but not the size of the file containing the picture. The picture display size must be adjusted in a graphics editor, such as PhotoShop and must be saved from that graphics editor, before you can insert it as intended (with the smaller file size) by means of your HTML editor .....Walter, http://fathersforlife.org
IMHO, this is the best and most user-friendly freeware tool around for working
with images (including literally one click re-sizing and re-formatting) -

I use Photo Impact, which is another graphics program similar to Adobe.. I used the usual "save to web", set the size to approx 200 kb and clicked ok. Then I went and resized it to 600x800. I only checked to make sure it was clear, and then sent it. How did you do yours? I haven't looked at it. Member UploadsFrontPage expressMembers are encouraged to write material and upload it to the site. One way to do this is to learn Frontpage Express, available at the following link. Mozilla FirefoxUntil a little while ago I used Internet Explorer, before that I used Netscape, but now I use Mozilla Firefox. Still, features in all top-of-the-line browsers are pretty much the same, given that all of them deal with the same type of files. The features you described are available in Firefox and are called Tabs. In addition, the browser history can be displayed as a list through pull-down menu options or through displaying that list at the left of the screen. I rarely use those permanent display options when browsing; they don't seem to provide me with any advantages. However, I use them quite extensively when editing my website. There they are a must, and for that I use FrontPage. I use Firefox because it is good competition against MS IE, and because it is far more secure than IE. Moreover, it is freely available on the Net and its code is far less bloated than that of MS IE. It is available as a down-loadable ZIP file of about 5 MB in size and installs in just seconds. I use Mozilla Thunderbird as my e-mail software application. It is even better yet, as it is *far* more secure than Outlook. Thunderbird does have some, very few, security issues, but those are by far not as much of a risk as those in Outlook. I consider Thunderbird to be far more user-friendly than Outlook. Neither Firefox nor Thunderbird ever crashed on me or ever caused a crash. Check http://passageway.com/ for details, pros and cons. One feature that I really like with Firefox is a tool bar with various web developer tools that provide excellent and easy-to-use analysis tools to evaluate various design aspects of specific web pages. That is an add-on (called extensions in Firefox), "Web Developer 0.8" that is about 54 kB in size and installs with no problems. Walter
