Thanks Judith, yes, I tried resizing it in "InfranView which is the program you suggested to me awhile back". It worked fine..;) I am so busy now trying out things, now that I have a little better understanding, it may be awhile before I come up with what I want on my website (even the basics). I am thinking that it is a good idea to "redo" my school project website I did last year (I used either Frontpage or Composer text editor I think). I think I should redo it in notepad maybe because we will have to be adding on to it at some point. But, I need to go back and read last year's directions on whether we could use Notepad or not, do not see why not. thanks, christy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judith" <jtb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, August 28, 2004 2:53 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: webpage picture too large, how to reduce it? in notepad > In your html code for **img src=** you can specify the height and > width you want for your picture (graphic). > > It would look like this: > > <img src="picture.jpg" height="400" width="200" border="0" > alt="picture of grand canyon" > > > and then just substitute what size you want the picture to be. > > It is always better to resize your picture to the exact size in a > photo editing program because that way it byte size won't be so > large either. > > Judith > > > Does anyone know how to make an image file smaller.
