Photos not enlarging

L

lynnelemoine

I have recently published my first website for my church, and I am
having problems with the pictures. When clicking on the thumbnails
the pictures do not enlarge - they actually look smaller than the
thumbnail on most computers I've used to view the site on. The site
can be found at www.stbernard-stbla.com

I would appreciate any tips anyone can give me. I have more pictures
to add but do not want to do that until I have figured out what I have
done wrong. I am using FrontPage 2000 with Windows XP. I may have
scanned the pictures wrong or just have a setting wrong but I can't
figure it out. I would to figure this out and correct it soon as I
need to scan and add a map to Pumpkin Patch page but want to make sure
it will enlarge when clicked on. Thanks for any help and suggestions.

When you click on a thumbnail image, the link is to the original full size image, and in your case
they appear to be smaller than the thumbnails that FP created based on the thumbnail settings. You
need to start with images that are larger than the thumbnail size.

When you do a Photo Album, clicking on the pictures shows them in a page
without any HTML, that is, without any modifications with regards to size. I
checked the size of your images. They are small, just as they appear when
you click on them. They are enlarged in your Photo Album. In other words, if
you want them to appear large when you click them in your Photo Album, they
must be large to begin with.

Which image editing program do you have? Be sure your images are better in
focus and are optimized for use on your page.

When you get that initial problem sorted out then have me help you get rid
of the default blue border around all the images. [email protected]

I suggest that you put the material for the home page into a table that is
no wider that 700 pixels. Right now it doesn't seem to be contained and is
far toooo wide (same with Pumpkin Patch and others). The link to the photo
on the top of the home page doesn't work.
It is best not to underline any text that is not a link ... it confuses
people.
The cemetarty page is taking forever to load!
Fly-in and wiggly text etc. is very out dated now.
Hope some of this helps...

Have you imported each photo/image (File menu, Import)

To create thumbnail images: first import the large size picture, then right-click
and select "auto thumbnail" then publish both the normal size and the thumbnail
version (usually named something like "image_small.jpg"). Make sure you publish
both versions of each image.

Seems you're linking them the other way round? The large image links to the
small image.....

Did you use the 'auto thumbnail' feature, or just make a 'large' and 'small'
version manually in an image editor?

**also....it might be a good idea to make your pictures jpegs insert of PNG for
sake of image quality and file size.
