| Question: How do you optimize your photos? This program you are telling
me
| about, is it pretty easy to use? Will it explain how to me how to
optimize
| my images. I am assuming you mean by optimizing, getting a nice quality
| picture in a small size. This sounds like it can get pretty complicated
for
| a beginner. Will putting my website in a bookmark fix my banner? Is
| bookmarking easier than the frames, where I can keep my menus and banner
on
| each page and hyperlink the menu to different pages?

file sizes. I suspect the original person who set it up was trying to
accomodate the huge page size and keep the navs in one place. This is
exacerbated by having ALL the page links on one nav bar rather than
subdividing the pages into some kind of logical structure. Personally, I
wouldn't pick through all those links to find the page(s) I wanted. You
could make the nav bar area smaller by organizing them better...and get rid
of the frame...make your images smaller & optimize them. Also the HUGE font
size,,,kinda screams; newbie!
