My greenhouse

[Tim]

Here is a link to a picture of my greenhouse. I've been building a website for a week now, and I've taken lots of pictures, but I haven't had much success in importing my pitures from my picture folder into my web page.

Thanks. It shows from my computer, but none of the other pictures do. I just get an x in a box.

They are probably showing up on your computer because they are loaded into a cache file somewhere when you put together the webpages and tried uploading.

The company photos thumbnails and larger image links loaded fine.

This is your problem:

<img src="file:///C|/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/greenhouse2.jpg" width="300" height="250">

This line refers to a file that is on your computer's hard drive, not one that is on the web server.

 

[Tim]

Thank you all for your kind attention.

I think I may have it

It looks like I've got it.

Thanks and best regards to those who helped on this thread and the one in general discussions.

Works now. I would suggest also that you keep your image files down in size. The one picture is 581kb which is 530k more than necessary and still produce a good quality image for the size.

The problem is that it is a 1200 x 1600 pixel image that is being resized in the browser by specifiying width="300" height="250". You should reduce the picture to 300 x 250 pixels in an image editor, then resave it. The the picture will only take 1/10 of the time to load. It will also look better as an image editor does a better job of resizing than Explorer does.

That's great advice. I wasn't even aware of such a thing as an image editor. Something came with my camera which I now assume to be just this.

Here's another picture of ready made food for my bigger plants, right in my backyard where the kid's play.

OK, now I've got things running better with my computer. Which image editor do you guys recommend? Would Microsoft Picture It have the ability to reduce pixel size? Or how about Adobe?

Thanks

Tim, I've been using IrfanView for a couple of years.  It's easy to use and the price is right (it's free

).  You can download it from the IrfanView Homepage.  It is a very good image editing program, particularly for novices (that's me).

Tim, a good but easy to use photo editor is available as a free download from http://www.irfanview.com or just type in "Irfanview" in your favorite search browser/engine.
It doesn't have all the neat bells and whistles that say PhotoShop 6.0 would have, but it's great for resizing, changing color/brightness, pixel size etc. TuCows dot com gives it a five star rating, so obviously I''m not the only one who likes it.

 

[Tim]

Thanks. I downloaded it, and can change the size, but still can't figure out how to do what the other suggested, and reduce the number of Kilobites the image takes up.

 

[Tony Paroubek]

Reducing the size of the image should indirectly reduce the number of kilobytes, provided that the resolution hasn't changed. After you resize your photo and save it to disk just check the file size.
Also saving files in JPEG format usually gives you an option to set the level of detail. So if you don't need a super sharp image you can set it to medium and reduce the file size.

Some other basic programs to fiddle around with images.
The paint program that comes with windows as well as the Kodak imaging program that also comes with windows. Both should be in your accessories folder.
