Sherrie,

What would you like done exactly? Is there a size that you want? The current image is 225 pixels wide x 165 pixels high and 53KB in file size. Do you want the dimensions changed? What about the file size? Can you tell me where you got it to start with? I might be able to get a fresh copy to start with and improve on the image quality too.

Here are two different sizes. See if either one of these will work for you.

Thank you so much, The smaller one looks ideal. I copied the url amd pasted and uploaded it into my site, but all that shows now is an x. Any ideas. Thanks again for your help. How did you do this. Sherie

 

[sherrie]

Got it thanks, It looks great

 

[BobBrazeal]

Looks good. Glad I could help.

Could please tell me how you made them 2 different sizes, i would like to learn this. Email me if you like. I have read so many posts on resizing clipart, but don't now where to start on a picture for a website. Thnaks again Sherrie

Sherrie,

What I did with the two that I sent you was to resize them using an image editor program. I am currently using Paint Shop Pro 7. There are many different ones out there and I would guess that most of them have the ability to resize an image.

The other way is to change the size as you display it on the web page. That is done in the HTML tag for the image. For example here is the studio1.gif file as it is on my web page, and I've shown the code to display it below the image. I'm sure this is familiar.

<img src="http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/brazeal/studio1.gif">

&ltimg src="http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/brazeal/studio1.gif">

Now I can resize it just by adding something to the code. I take the largest dimension, which is the width, and change it in the img tag. It was normally 100 and I'll change it to 70. Like this...

<img width=70 src="http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/brazeal/studio1.gif">

&ltimg width=70 src="http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/brazeal/studio1.gif">

You will see that it also changes the height to keep the same width to height ratio.

The only problem with the second method is that the file size (in bytes) remains the same. By using the image editor, as the image is reduced in width and height, the byte size goes down too; sometimes quite dramatically. Point your mouse at the images and right click, and then select properties. You will see that the file referenced is the same file and that the file size in bytes hasn't changed but the image size has.

Bob,

Great background for your clock!

 

[BobBrazeal]

Thanks, just made it up today. I did all the text with Microsoft PhotoDraw 2. I thought the text across the top came out well.

 

[StormAlongBay]

It's very clever.

You did do a great job, especially the text. I was going to ask what you used to get that font with the curved shadow. PERFECT!
