Reduce the actual print size to the original size or less. But since web display is dependent on the resolution of the output device (monitors are usually about 72ppi), reducing the resolution is simply is another way of resizing the image. If you reduce the resolution from say 100 to 72ppi at the same time you reduce the size to 50%, you have simply resized to about 40%. Pat Asher
Hi Ralph, Thank you for your reply. A further question: how do you reduce the resolution? I can't re-scan the original and although I've hunted through PSP's "help" files I can't see anything that seems to fit my problem. Most of the instructions there are about setting the resolution on the printer. Although I just asked about one image I have several dozen that I want to eventually upload to the site - all with a similar problem. So I would like to find a generic solution if possible.

Do not worry about the FreeFind search function script, as it can be configured to display on any of your pages, and the script can be saved as a separate file and called from each page. The location of the Seach Box should be standardized in each page and most likely would be included along with your navigation in a Server Side Includes file. On recommendation regarding the use of a text editor, as you probably have the default Notepad editor and I believe you would be better served by using something a little more user friendly such as - Araneae (spider) which is available as freeware from:- http://www.ornj.net/araneae/ Feel free to ask for help in how to do any of the things that have been suggested when you are ready.

Having a distracted couple of days in email. Meant to send this to the list. Sorry Thank you all for the replies. This is going to take some time. I didn't think about googling the scripts. That is a great idea. Sheri
Rosemary asked about reducing the byte size of a 546kb image for displaying on her website. Others have given good suggestions. To summarize, there are only three ways to cut a raster image file's size: 1. Reduce the dimensions. A 8" by 8" image needs (other things being equal) four times as many bytes as a 4" by 4". This isn't done by specifying display size in the HTML page, but to the file itself with a graphics-editing program. The saving is proportional to the products of the before & after dimensions. 2. Reduce the resolution. Any resolution greater than, say, 100 pixels per inch is wasted; computer monitors can't display the extra pixels and many are limited to 72. The saving is proportional to the ratio of the before & after resolutions. 3. Convert to gray-scale, especially if the original is in monochrome (black & white). A typical color image requires 24 (or more) bits per pixel; gray scale requires 8 bits (1 byte), a saving of two-thirds or more on the file size. For documents, there is a non-image approach: Transcribe the document into text. This will produce the greatest savings of all. -rt_/)
The first thing I'd do is copy the View Source into Windows Notepad. Then, I'd go through and identify "parts" and Comment them so I remember what each part is. Like there's a java script that starts with function searchOnBlur1(){ Google scripts to know what each thing does. Next, I'd look at the page in a browser and write down on paper YOUR ideas for change. Like: -Mast head pictures too big - reduce them or find another mast head. - Two mast head pics are links-- but no instruction of that for users (they must guess). -----What is the difference between those 2 pics with links to other sites and "the middle" one? Confusing to me, IMO. - Re-do navigation. -Want to write new "intro" for the beginning. - Long list of links/descriptions is too long. -- Coding is incorrect, forcing both Rootsweb banners to the bottom; must fix that. Is there an open head and close head tag? Is there a body open and body close tag? -- I'd get rid of the statement at the bottom: "Criminal copyright infringement, including infringement without monetary gain, is investigated by the FBI and is punishable by up to 5 years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000." ( I'm having a hard time not chuckling.... I doubt the FBI is gonna "investigate" somebody using "facts" from a genealogy website AND "facts" can't be copyrighted.) (Continue with any other thoughts you have, problems you see. The list you make will help you start on small changes and set goals. It will keep you focused and you won't forget what you wanted to do. Like, I even wrote down when I took a site that I needed to remove tons of <.br> codes I saw in the Source.) Next, organize! What commonalities can go with each other? This may be okay now, but look it over and jot down an outline of how you want the folders and pages on the site. What goes with what? Can anything be combined? Write on paper a simple outline of what YOU want to have on THIS page. Go to the online page and save an htm / l copy. That way, you'll have all those links. Go back to the Windows Notepad copy of the page. Learn to use Find / Replace to make simple changes. Look at / do these things 1. Identify and remove the Rootsweb banners at the bottom (they'll be automatically shown when you upload your new page). 2. Remove any coding you've identified that you do not need. 3. If unsure that you want / don't want a section of code, copy it with your COMMENT to a separate Notepad window -- NAME the file. Now you won't lose it, if you want it back. Save the text file in a folder under My Documents > Webs > do I need these 4. Take the page "down" (remove code) to the basic things you are sure will stay. 5. Try to make a template you like. Ask for help. Don't forget that info in the HEAD can be partly made into the template too. 6. Begin copying "sections" from the other code into the template IF they will appear on every page. As you copy out of the original in Notepad, delete that section from the Notepad copy. (That way you'll have less & less.) 7. Evaluate what is left on the original. Do you need it? Want it but on a different page? Or trash that part? NOTE: Don't copy any parts that will NOT show on ALL pages. Leave the "unique" content (something that is or should only be on 1 page) until after you get a template made. Here is where you'll need to decide if you want stuff in an external style sheet. When you have a nice, clean template that can be used on ALL pages, name it template.html -- AND copy your template. Make a couple copies of it. Like, I put aaaa-cemetery.htm as a template name where all files will have xxxx_cemetery as the file name. As I add pages, the aaaa becomes, for example: brook-cemetery.html old-brook-cemetery.html st-george-cemetery.html teatoddle-cemetery.html yodel-cemetery.html Next, if you have folders already, copy the template into each folder (easiest for me because it will already have the links, and I just need to make sure the links are coded for a new folder). Name a sub-folder template according to content. For example, aaaa_obituary.html Again, when I make a page then, all I need to do is re-save that folder's template and re-name, like: john-smith_obituary_1815 mary-george_obituary_1920 etc. Once you have your folders like you want them and named, your next task is to identify all pages that fit that topic. Move the page into correct folder. Open that page, identify "unique content", copy into the Template and immediately "SAVE AS" with a new name so it doesn't over-write your "aaa_template.html" file. Change links inside the new page. Decide if you can use an "include" on this page. Re-work the unique content. Validate the page. One by one, re-do each old page. Make sure to change the HEAD items to reflect "this page". Tile, Description, Keywords. These are the steps I used to re-do a site. Set small goals. Reward yourself frequently to avoid burn-out. Every 5 pages, "praise" yourself ! It helps to keep on going. When you want to give up, watch 30 minutes of TV to break the doledrums. Return to do a very small step... to build your stamina again. Ask family & friends to be your cheerleaders, "Go, go! You can do it! You did it-- hooray!" Use the lists to get encouragement. When you finish transforming the last "old" page, celebrate!

How do I not mess up the search? >The site is here: >http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~intttp/ ============= If I was taking over the site and clean it up, the first thing I would do is develop a template on which to base the site. The first thing I would make sure I did was add the navigation to every single page. Right now if someone enters by anything other than the "front door" or Home Page, all they can do is return to the home page. Depending on what editor you are using to develop the site, you could use server side includes for those parts of the page that remain the same so that you only have to edit the ssi page to make changes. The downside to using them is that you cannot see them on your local computer unless you make sure of Barry Carlson's work around using javascript so that you can view them on your local computer. Search box can go on the side menu if you choose to use that as in this site http://www.expression-web-tutorials.com/ or on the top as part of the masthead like on this site http://www.genealogy-web-creations.com/ More on using server side includes http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gearyfamily/server-side-includes.html including more resources. I believe the search uses javascript to achieve the popup results.

Thank you Barry. I believe I've got the picture! I appear to have dipped my toe into hot water and I don't think I want to go in any deeper just yet! Having "googled" around a bit and looked back through these very pages, I see we are already well into the throes of a raging "browser war". The arguments are all far too esoteric and/or deep for me! So, cowardly though it may seem, I shall immediately withdraw and look on with interest from the safety of the sidelines. Meanwhile however, I shall take your advice and install a few more browsers - just to see how they compare. I'll continue using your example page 'simple-table.html', if you would kindly leave it there for a few more days? I shall report back to you in due course, if I may. I note that Pat Geary in her contribution to this thread, (thank you Pat) - also recommends having several browsers to check our family web sites and to see how they display. A good idea. I have just obtained Microsoft's Expression Web 4 suite to help me construct my site. I don't really know how to use it properly yet, despite the excellent tutorials - (thanks again Pat), but I shall look forward to using the special preview application she mentions for checking browser compatibility. Perhaps it will even help me to find the right "lens" with which to view the world - who knows? Derek
Hi Norman, > How do you load the material you want to share onto the page where it will be viewed? I have 8 different files of Kincaid material I want to load to my webpage. How do I get it there? What sort of files are you meaning? Word documents, spreadsheets, .PDF's, ... ? What sort of file and what is in it may determine how you share it. Whether you put a link to the file in a web page, and then upload the file along with the web page (like I have done with the membership form PDF at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wendyh65/WaipuIGG.htm), or transfer the information to a web page for display, or something else. With a word processor or spreadsheet file, I personally wouldn't upload the file - that's my choice, but not the only option. If I wanted to display their contents as they appear to me when I open the files, I'd convert them to a PDF file - OpenOffice.org will do this quickly and easily, and the program is free. If you have GEDCOM files, you should load those at WorldConnect, not in your freepages - unless you convert them to web pages first (Legacy will do that, as will other genealogy programs, I'm sure). Hope this gives you something to think about. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Howard *** Please reply to the list *** -- Kaiwaka, Northland, New Zealand http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wendyh65/ <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ewendyh65/>

Hi List, I have been given a jpeg image from a family bible which is rather large for a web page. I have been using my usual ways of reducing it's byte size but it's still too large. I've reduced it's dimensions and tried jpeg optimization. I have PSPX The file started out at 546kb and, by simply cutting down the dimensions it is now 172kb. Then I used PSP's jpeg optimizer set at 20% and the file ended up as just 7kb smaller at 165kb. Any larger compression and the image isn't really readable. I don't want to reduce the dimensions any further as I want the print on the newspaper cutting to be readable. Any suggestions?

If I were to get Firefox or some other W3C compliant browser, > would I be able to see it any better? -------------------------------- Derek, My fault in not explaining that - all browsers are not created equal. I don't intend to turn this into a "browser war", but we live in a world where the majority of internet users are provided with a default browser when they purchase a PC. The PC will invariably have the MS Windows Operating System (O/S) installed, and sitting comfortably within it is the MS Internet Explorer browser. My understanding is that the Windows 7 O/S is also packaged with some alternative browsers, e.g. Firefox, Safari/Chrome, or Opera. The user needs to be aware that they are there to be able to use them. The "alternative" browsers have evolved by keeping abreast of the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) developed standards in mark-up language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The current standard mark-up language is HTML4 coupled with CSS2, and most browsers are now well on the way to being able to present much of what is yet to be standardized as CSS3. When it comes to how a page is rendered (displayed), it comes down to the browser designers interpretation of what is meant in the W3C standards. The browser engines should all behave the same, but because the designed by humans, they don't. Getting back to the page in question - http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/HTML-Convertor/simple-table.html - it was designed for rendering in the W3C standards compliant browsers (Firefox 3.6.1, Chrome 5, Safari 5 and Opera 10.64) and then hacked to ensure that it presented as equally well as possible in the Internet Explorer suite of browsers, i.e. IE5.01 through IE8. This resulted in adding extra mark-up and styling to create pseudo shadows under the two headings on the page. The W3C compliant browsers use the style - h1, h2 {text-shadow : 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em #ac9} to render the shadow. - which is not supported by Internet Explorer. There is another style on the page not supported by IE browsers, but it gracefully degrades. As you are using Internet Explorer 8, here is a page showing an example of the differences - http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/HTML-Convertor/shadow-test.html - and when using IE8, try the following page and note that when you have selected the IE7 link that the page displays correctly. The IE7 link displays the page correctly, as either link does in IE5.01 through to IE7 and in all the W3C compliant browsers. http://countjustonce.com/ie-test/vertical-align-ie8.html IE8 is a browser I don't use, and not only for the above reason The world looks different when viewed through the right "lens". Try downloading and installing either Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari. You don't need to select it as your default browser, but I expect in time you will. Barry .

You >don't need to select it as your default browser, but I expect in time you >will. =========== There are many of us who deliberately install multiple browsers so that we can check our sites to see how they display. I have FF, Opera, IE 8 and Windows Safari. I can also check my sites in multiple versions of IE using SuperPreview which is part of Expression Web. I can also check in IE9 by using the cloud feature of SoperPreview. I got Windows 7 on my new desktop and if it had anything except IE installed, it was well hidden. I use FF as my default browser BUT keep IE for those sites that will not work in FF or anything but IE. On my genealogy site, the vast majority of my visitors use IE and about 4.5% are still using IE6. About 20% use Firefox. On my Expression Web site, only 45% use IE with 35% using Firefox. Again about 4.4% are using IE6. On my Genealogy Web Creations site, more visitors use FF (41%) than IE (37%). Viewers using IE6 are higher on this site (6.5%). Chrome, which I do not have installed accounts for about 15%. While many choose not to accommodate IE6 visitors, I still want my site to function properly or as close as possible. pat
I searched the archives today and found considerable amount of chat about TNG which I use and not having access to scripted output here on FreePages. My TNG website is located at; http://www.yatesville.net/tngrey/. It would be most helpful if I could integrate this program somehow into what I am building on FreePages. My mission for my FreePages Website is to arrange for what I have found to be passed on to other researchers and family members when their lifecycles arouse an interest for finding out about "the family". I would like to pass on a starting point farther advanced than where I started. My objective to achieve this mission is to create a place which will supersede my death by 50 years. I judge that FreePages is the most stable system and has the highest probability of still remaining viable at that time. So with this perspective, has anyone developed a "work around" that can access and display the required MySQL database or know of some exceptional database hosting service which is not "fly by night". Perhaps there is something that you all know that would be helpful which is why I am explaining my broad mission. The FreePages website I am building out now is located at: http://alturl.com/w3s3t Regards, Ron Yates Direct at: Ron@yatesville.net Charlotte, NC
