Alot of folks, I've discovered, don't know how to compress their Jpg images down to a smaller size prior to placing them on their web pages!
Here's a quick tutorial on reducing the file size of your images using a great little (and FREE!) program called, "IrfanView"!
STEP ONE: Click on the image and download 'Iview' here. Then simply install it on your hard drive.
STEP TWO:
STEP THREE:
STEP FOUR!
STEP FIVE!Click on the SAVE Icon...
then click on OPTIONS!
STEP SIX!
STEP SEVEN!...and that's it!! You now have a photo that is only 18K. This allows for faster load times when folks come to your webpage. Using the Plus/Minus buttons, you can also make quick THUMBNAILS of your photos, labeling the smaller photo with an 'A' extention. For this example, name a small 90x90 Thumbnail, 'Ladyza.jpg'! Size on that one should be around 1 or 2K!!
Hope this helps you out! If you have any questions, feel free to email me!
