See http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/misc.html for a decent explanation of what you need, and how to get it that way, as well as how to make a web page. 640x480 is the short answer though. To get a clue as to the size of a picture that you see on the web, right click on one and choose "properties" from Explorer and it will tell you how big it is. Compression is the key, and something like Cyberview will allow you to tell how much is too much. If you are scanning, use 72 dpi and then you can still compress it by at least 80% after that using Cyberview. Don't pay Cyberview. Don't give them $39.95 for "version 5". I've been waiting for three years for the upgrade. For now you can do the trial version for free, and give 'em $29.95 later, or somebody probably knows of a freebie on the web that'll do the same job. Personally, I used Photoshop these days, and you should have gotten some sort of similar software with your scanner AND your digital camera, so start there first.
