How to handle pictures.
Little and BIG Pictures
Here is an example of a good way to put your pictures on a web page. I found it
somewhere, and forgot where. The general idea is to have a small, quick thumb-nail
that can be clicked on and then the large, slow, perfect picture can be downloaded
and viewed.
These are some neat pictures I found around the network somewhere.

Animated Gif Stuff
A good way to add sparkle to your web page is by using animated gif's.
It's rather easy but takes some planing. First you will need some tools.
Like Gif
Construction Set for Windows. Sorry I was unable to find a version
for MAC yet. Next you need to make several .gif pictures, like pages in
a flip book. I have made a rather poor example of an animation for demo
reasons only. Here are the .gif's I used to make the animated GIF.
Next using GIF Construction Set, specify the size of the final image. Next
add the background image or a LOOP. Then add a CONTROL. CONTROLs tell the
GIF how long to wait before the next image. Next add an IMAGE. Repeat this
till you are at the end. Now save the file and try VIEWing it. Now upload
it in binary mode and add a <IMG SRC="animation.gif"> line to your page.
That's about all there is to it. The Gif Construction Set page has alot of
info and the program comes with alot of docs also. Here is the
GIF Animation Resource
Page . Good luck and have fun.
