Edit: Changes in red
Eric: Yep, just e-mail them to me.
I considered letting those that wanted to help a little just use FTP for their pages but Geocities wants more money to use FTP ("premium service"). Earthlink wasn't so greedy, they recommended FTP and even linked to a free FTP program that was really easy to use.

I'm not sure if geocities changed, but I'm pretty sure they set some file transfer limit per some quantity of time. When the building begins we'll be seeing "this site has reached its transfer limit, try again in one hour" after one person views like 3 pictures.

Nope, It's just that geocities automatically converts all file names to lower case (case sensative). When I did the page and inserted the pics on my machine there were upper and lower case letters so once it was uploaded it couldn't find the pics so I had to edit all the image tags.
I didn't know that Geocities did this so it's my bad.
Not too big a deal really but with 20+ involved it could be a real pain later.
the second change was due to you mentioning that you can only do 10 attachments. I wanted to be sure others weren't caught by suprise.

Thanks again Derek. I will try and use the KISS principle as far as I can.
Mate, you will have some work ahead of you, just make sure you enjoy the build as much as we will. With the effort you have put in so far, and will need to put in in future, no-one will worry if you take your time updating the site.
Cheers.

RonUSMC put link to a real good program for pics. It's called irfanview. http://www.irfanview.com/
It can take a 400k pic and resize it to under 100k without really loseing quality. It's pretty simple to use and free.
Thanks for doing this for the group Derek.

I hope you guys can bare with me, I'm electronically challenged. We are into our busiest season at work, so pics might have to come later.

You guys are correct RE zipping images. JPEG and other formats have their own compression. For some reason I was thinking of DXF files.
|

Jon - probably the most common compression or zip program is WinZip. What it does is reduce the size of the file. Great for storage or for sending something rather large by e-mail. WinZip is shareware and can be downloaded from the net from about 1,000 different sites.
Ed is bang on the money re: compression of pics, doesn't do much good at all.
Happy Modelling and God Bless

Derek,
i don't think zipping jpgs does anything to reduce size.
the compression algorithm for images (embedded) is more efficient than current zip.
it does put them into easy to move packages however
(if i mail in say 8 pics at once).
in the case of single pics, it will actually make them slightly larger,
as it has to store the jpg, which it could not compress, plus some data on how to uncompress it!
Word docs (like all microft products) compress nicely
(being made mostly of air!)
and thanks again for doing the heavy lifting w/ the web site!
