Get a Mac and RapidWeaver. ;-)) You weave macs? Well, making plastic sheet is harder. Look at Dreamweaver - some scanners give it away with their softwa there's sure to be someone (else) with it. The best (most compact) program to use on the computer is Irfanview, but I don't know how easy it would be to graft it into your website. The easiest option is either to put the pics up with thumbnail versions - f'rinstance, dahlia_001.jpg and dahlia_01.jpg and include the line a href="dahlia_001.jpg" img src="dahlia_01.jpg" click for larger pic /a and similar for the rest, then your viewer can choose which pics to look at, and for how long. Or, if you want to do the job properly, create a separate directory called (for example), 'thumbs' and put the thumbnail pics in that, and use lines like this: a href="dahlia_001.jpg" img src="thumbs/dahlia_001.jpg" click for larger pic /a (Note that in the first method, because your thumbnail and the main pic are in the same directory, they must have different names. your thumbnails, if in a separate directory, can have the same name.) You can make it a bit better-looking by putting in a header "Click for larger pic" and then use the two lines: a href="dahlia_001.jpg" img src="dahlia_01.jpg"/a And put any text after the HTML tags. br br a href="dahlia_001.jpg" img src="thumbs/dahlia_01.jpg"/a More text. If you want the thumbnail on the right, a href="dahlia_001.jpg" img src="dahlia_01.jpg" align="right"/a Longer spaces can be put in by putting a space followed by The longer the space, the more it will look like this: etc. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

Possible, probably, but horrendously huge files. Not necessarily so. THere is software (probably even freeware) that will convert jpegs to Flash format without "horrendously huge" file sizes, although that depends on definitions of those terms :-) The resulting move can then be embedded. I wouldn't touch Frontpage with yours.... Me neither - nowt wrong with Notepad :-) |

If you want a copy of a perfectly adequate (but elderly) HTML 4 tutor and (probably) editor, CD, let me know and I'll send you one. (Got it with an old HTML tutorial book - haven't looked at the CD though.) Most of my website (needs tidying-up!) was written in HTML 3.2, and some of it, an even simpler version. The only pages which are properly compliant are written in HTML 4.1 transitional - however, FWIW, have a peek at http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ and (just for fun!) http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ad/ And if you do, and are wondering, yes, I have a brace of successful applicants, and pics of their work, and them at work, and the transformation of my wilderness section to something approaching a garden. The pics will be put into a proper page soon, and uploaded... In the meantime, I think you might find the beginnings at http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/garden.htm I *THINK* I put it up, but haven't checked owing to this broadbean dongle only working at ordinary mobile phone speeds, and a lot of this month's time online being used-up by some git who sent me a 1·1 MB jpeg when he could have reduced the thing to less than 50 KB... -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

Just a few months ago I got rid of my Peugeot 406, which had a perfectly-serviceable LPG system installed. I could've driven it down to you; it had several months of tax left on it, but unfortunately no MoT - but I wouldn't have let that stop me - and I could have brought your Fuggles with me! (Yes, I've still got one, that I kept for you...) It's currently reposing behind the greenhouse, in a huge bag of my best compost, and trying its best to gain admittance - between the panes! -- AnneJ |
