Try the free Image Resizer from Microsoft. All you do is right
click
on a photo and then choose whether you want a small, medium, or
larger
reduction.

If you use Windows XP, look on the right hand side for Image
Resizer

Just thought of another addition --

What do you use to organize your web page?

We use a freeware package called Gallery.
http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.p...ews&file=index

It creates albums at any level you want and indexes each entry
alphabetically within the album. Items can be stored and not
displayed. Names can be edited or changed at anytime. You can
work with the names index of albums or with the photo index
(album covers style). We are now down level from what is being
offered,

I use Photoimpact for my images. I admit that I do not use the program
to its best advantage. I merely use it to resize files, add labels and
crop images. To makes thumbnails I use irfanview. I'm sure Photoimpact
will make thumbnails, but I like irfanview for that. I coud probably
quit using Photoimpact and just use Irfanview, for that matter, becasue
I do not retouch the color of my photos. Nor do I many fancy graphic
documents that Photimpact will allow you to do. My version of
Photoimpact dates from 1998.

Also, my digital camera has 3 different settings for image size, which I
always use on the smallest file size since my images are always intended
for the web. I can upload straight from the camera when posting to
apbo, or I can dink around with them for my webpages.

To make a web page I use Pagemill, also dating from 1998 (if that
recent) also used to the most rudimentary degree of expertise. The key
for me was getting a book, which I have to refer to whenever I want to
creat a new webpage, since I forget what I did and how I did it before -
so rarely do I create something new. I usually just work from
templates. Each new subject gets its own folder, photos and pages get
put into that folder, and the whole thing is uploaded to the web using
freeware FTP Pro, which will upload the whole folder (file by file) at
once, instead of file managers like geocities, where you have to
manually upload file by file. Its not what you use but what you know how
to use that is important (IMHO).

Does anyone have a suggestion(s) for a webpage maker (freeware) for a
mac? The templates that come with .mac are too simplistic and are
webbased (housed on the web - IIRC). I want somehing I can download to
my mac, work on webpages offline, then ftp to my webpages.
