Options
I am so un-technichally minded that I hope you guys can help me, I have set a website up with Mr Site websites and although I am pleased with the overall result some of my pictures are really small..... Someone has saaid its because the reolution(!?!) of the pics is too high. Is there a way I can change this.

Thanks

    resolution is probably too high, try image resizer

    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

    or alter the html to stretch the pics.

    e.g.

    <p align="center"><img src="yourpicname.jpg" align="middle" width="640"
    height="480"></p>
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    Use Irfanview to resize your images to the size that you want them to be displayed on your website. Change the file type to .gif
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:

    Hi

    Has a Mr-Site user you will probably find that their forum is down at the moment as they are revamping it (we'll see).

    You can join an alternative forum just for Mr-Site set up by other users which is really helpful for members of Mr-Site. Please make sure you read the rules otherwise you will get banned.

    Work out the exact size you want to display the picture on your site in pixels, e.g. 200 x 100.

    Then open the original image in an editing program such as IrfanView mentioned above, or PhotoShop if you have good pro software on your PC.

    Resize the image to 200 x 100 pixels and save it (probably as a different name so you don't loose the original hi-res picture).

    Save it as a JPEG if it is a photo.

    Then add this new small picture to your website.
