A few hopefully easy questions if anyone can help!
1) I have uploaded images but they are too large to put on my site. In MAC OSX, what graphic program can I use to resize them? How can I compress them?
2) Once I resize and/or compress them, do I use ?
3) For some pages of my site, I would like to have some kind of pull down menu or sub pages (e.g., Main page and several places someone could go to on that page). For an example of what I mean, in case I am not explaining this well, please see http://healthandhappiness.org for an example. she uses pull down menus. i just cant figure out how to create this information without making a whole new page in itself, which I dont want!
Mahalo and aloha, Leslie
I do not have MAC OSX, but you might want to try a Google search using the string "MAC OSX image resizing". I didn't look around a lot, but there seems to be a lot of information and free programs. When you resize, make sure you keep the aspect ratio the same.
Once you have the images resised, and uploaded to your site, you use a tag to reference and display your image.
You can leave off the width and height specifications, if you just want it to display in full size.
As Peter mentioned, dropdown menus are usually managed with Javascript. Here is a link to a very nice and very well documented drop down menu program, Tigra Menu by Soft Complex. They have on line menu builders and even a help forum. Lots of nice features. There is a free version available but there are also enhanced pro versions for sale. Stick with the free version to start out with.
The drop down menu that I use on my site is called "AnyLink Drop Down Menu" and is from Dynamic Drive. It can also be modified to provide a informational popup as well. To see this, take a look at the Web Site Map, on my web site. Dynamic Drive has several different types of menus, but be careful because some are not cross browser compatible.
