IMAGES and PHOTOS: Images require a great deal of web space. Keep them to a minimum. You MUST save your image in a "gif" or "jpg" format and try to reduce your image to a size of height=200 and width=350. To preserve space, your images may have to be reduced again. Submit your images as a file attachment to e-mail. TEXT and TABLES:
Each software program is
slightly different. Be sure when you copy your file - you copy ALL formats
including paragraph, headers, footers, footnotes, spacing, italics, bold,
etc. If you do not follow the correct copy
procedures, when your file is converted to html for the web site, it will
appear VERY different. Most microsoft programs will convert to a web page.
Other programs will not. Keep your files BELOW 50k. If you have long files, divide them into 40k to 50k files and send them. Example: pages 1-10 = file a; pages 11-20 = file b. We can link all of your files together with the same topic. LOAD TIMES: Load times are critical. Yahoo loads in six seconds at 28.8k. Many do not have ISDN or 56k connect speeds, and they will NOT wait two to three minutes for a page to load. We want our pages to load in LESS than 30 seconds. Graphics and animations may look great, but estimates indicate 90% will not wait to see them on the page. Many excellent genealogy sites take too long to load and are never viewed. Websitegarage indicates a 50% loss in viewers for pages that take OVER 20 seconds to load. BROWSERS: Netscape and Explorer give slightly different views of each web site. We use Explorer. Our suggestion is to download each browser to view pages. Example: open your file in Netscape Composer to see how it looks. WEBSITE UPDATES: We are here to help, and we value your information. Help us make your Web Site a great resource on the web. Thanks. For any other questions or comments contact: Webmaster:
