Paul, the Irfanview (a freeware image viewer/editor, like ACDsee) can create HTML pages with thumbnails and links to larger files in its thumbnail mode. www.irfanview.com I think. The files are pretty simple-coded, that makes them easy to edit like adding your own

Thanks. I invested a couple of hours in trying to find some method of putting up a web site. Once I found a means of accomplishing it (thanks to Shel), it only took a couple of hours or less to construct. However, I want to remake it with thumbnails, rather than a bunch of large photos coming up

I agree with Shel and advice against Netscape Composer. However, most visual editors produce more code than really needed. Microsoft Word and FrontPage are some of the worst examples, but it seems that none are perfect. The real problem with this is, imo, that the code is totally unreadable

Paul ... I believe that you might be better off writing some simple code yourself, just using a text editor. I use Notepad and put my entire site together with just that and some HTML checking programs to be sure there were no errors in the code. My site is simple, but as Jostein mentioned,

Looks good Paul. I entered a local paper competition recently and, to my astonishment, won some web building software. I can now see a use for it; how much time have you invested in this? Your photos have very varied subjects - most interesting. Malcolm -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

Thanks Wendy, I'll probably end up replacing the whole site with some other templates, perhaps the PUG style or one of Shel's. The pages I used are from Earthlink's Click Build system, which is fairly inflexible as far as I can tell. In other words, you can't modify things or move them around.

I highly recommend against Composer. I've used it, and it produces messy code with - at least in the version I've used - enough slop and incompatibility with several browsers to make it, if not useless in some situations, a poor choice. I've been playing around writing with writing HTML by hand

Thanks for the tip. I have Composer as part of Netscape Communicator. I thought I might redo my site based on the PUG format. That would give me a lot of linked thumbnails to work with. You're right about being complacent once something is up. But I'm going to try not to do that. I visited your

If you check out Richard's code you'll see that he appears to have used a program other than Composer to create the site. Further, he's used some specific coding that allows the page to come up in a readable form on many browsers and screen sizes. However, being readable is not always the same
