Ken asked: "I would like to connect the website to the pedigree which I already have on Rootsweb. Exactly how can I do that ?" My suggestion: 1. Open your web editor to a page where you want the link and type in the text to serve as the link. 2. Then -- without closing the editor -- open your browser and navigate to your pedigree file. Highlight the URI and copy it (e.g., pressing Control-C) onto the clipboard. 3. Go back to your web editor and highlight the linking text. Press Control-K (or whatever command to insert a link). 4. At the dialogue box, paste the copied URI into the proper place. Or, if hand-coding the HTML, paste the URI between the quote marks of href="" in the link tag. Ken also asked: "Can someone suggest what would be a reasonable image size, in KBs, for each photo ?" He wants viewers to be able to access high-resolution images without slowing down page loading. The best way to do this is to have two versions of the image, a low-resolution version which loads with the web page and a high-res linked from the low-res. The low-res loads with the page, the high-res loads on a new page only if the viewer clicks the low-res image. Bearing in mind that everything on the page shouldn't be much more than 50 KB, your low-res image shouldn't be much bigger than 5 KB -- roughly 300 pixels in the largest dimension. If you have many images on a page, you'll need to reduce this. Your HTML code will look something like this: <.a href="path/hi-res.png"><.img src=path/low-res.gif"><./a> {without the leading dots} -rt_/)
