Going on to file manager and clicking on WYSIWYG I have managed , with loud cheers, to create a page called index.htm .....and I know where it is , by the date alongside it . Today I am going to try Barry`s helpful email instructions. " to continue it , just save it with another name eg the existing name mypage.html as mypage-1.html . The most terrifying instruction is " remove the existing content " . add the remainder of what you have . Once done , you can go back to the first page and add a link at the bottom which will allow your viewers to get to it . I see the page down key but have never used it . nor now do I know when to use it . but I am going to try reading through Bennett2 and then hit the page down key .......somehow I doubt there will be loud cheers !!! -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Taylor via Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2015 8:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FreeHelp] PAGES ? Let's take some other perspectives on "How long should a Web page be?" BTW, it's not a dumb question, but an important one. The main point is that the medium is not print-on-paper, but text and images on a computer screen. So you're not restricted to standard paper sizes. You are, though, somewhat constrained by viewers' screens. You want to minimize scrolling, especially avoiding horizontal scrolling. Then, there's download time to consider. How long does it take the page (and all its "stuff") to load so viewers can see it? If they have to wait too long, they might click away before the page comes up. (A recent newspaper article indicated that this behavior was on the increase and attributed it to bad site designs. Yes, it happens in the commercial world.) So we think in computer and network terms, bits and bytes going through pipes. Before broadband was so common and download speeds were about 2.4 Kbs (Kilobits per second), we used to have consensus that a page (with images, etc.) shouldn't be more than ~50 KB (kilobytes). That's still a heck of a lot of text. Nowadays, download speeds average 6-12 MBs (MegaBytes per second), 2,500-5,000 times faster. I think that means pages can be bigger. We're no longer limited to 50 KB, which would load much faster than a blink. You can also think in qualitative terms: * A sentence should consist of a complete thought. * A paragraph should consist of related sentences and thoughts. * A page should consist of related paragraphs to tell a complete story. The story may be short and simple or it may be long and complex. The page telling it should be as long as it needs to be and no longer. At the end of the page, the reader should be left feeling "I understand" without feeling bored. In the final analysis, the size of a page is up to its author. -rt_/) PS -- Two foolscap pages sounds (depending on how big or small you write) like about 200 words, a small page. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
