EXAMPLE THUMBNAIL

A thumbnail is a miniature of a larger picture
If you just use Height and Width for your thumbnail picture the Server will have to open the full size and then resize it, that takes time and you are not gaining anything by doing it that way.


---

• Choose your larger picture in a program that will resize
  

• Graphic Converter will do it.--- Graphic Converter is Shareware-- Go to Shareware and click Graphic Converter-- install it on your Computer.
  

• Open up Graphic Converter.
  

• Double click the picture you want to resize and get it to show in Graphic Converter (If it does not show by double clicking go to File/OPEN and find the picture you want to resize, I usually place my pictures on the desktop, that way they are easy to find.)

• When you have the picture open in Graphic Converter you resize it by

• Going to "Picture/"Size" and finally "Scale".
  Scale it to the size you want (just insert the Width and select Proportional and graphic converter does the rest. Then click ok
  

• Save it to desktop, call it "namesm.gif"
  

• You now have 2 pictures on your desktop one large and one small
  

• Do not resize a resized picture as it becomes grainy. If you have to resize start over
  

• Submit both pictures to the server with these tags
  <A HREF="name.JPG" Width="" Height="" Alt ="name of picture"><IMG SRC="namesm.gif" Border="1" Height="50" Width="47" Alt="name of picture"></A> now you have a thumbnail picture for the world to see.
  Replace the name after A HREF=with the name of your picture and insert the correct Width and Height of your picture
