Good for you. I worried two years about how hard it must be, then one Friday night decided to take the plunge. By the next afternoon I knew enough HTML to get by, and put up a group of pages that same day. The hard part is taking time to update regularly and keep the site fresh. >I still haven't figured out the thumbnail thing, Lots of software will do the thumbnail thing for you. Some of it is free or nearly free. I use a quirky program called "imagENGine" which does a whole lot of batch processing and web page building very neatly. Awhile back. I downloaded a copy of Wilbur, which is a file containing the list of HTML codes and their proper uses. I was amazed at how few actual codes one needs to know in HTML. I gradually built a few pages to gain experience. Only when one goes to scripts and style sheets and other such stuff does the coding become more challenging. Nowadays I stick to imagENGine to generate thumbnails and resized images, and Front Page Express to modify the pages. Ocasionally I use Photoshop when resizing just one image. -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
