Site is Uploaded, One More Question

[Platinum Equestrian]

We uploaded our site - I'm being told the pics are taking a long time to
load. What can I do about this? Again, it was designed in Publisher. Please
help, I want to get it fixed ASAP.

The link is www.platinumequestrian.com if you'd like to see what I'm talking
about.

Yep, they do load verrrrry slowly on a dial-up connection...sure are
beautiful horses though! You can mitigate this by:

1. Resampling and optimizing your images in a third party image editing
program before you insert them into your Pub document.

2. By compressing the images within Publisher before you publish. Here is a
MS article that might help:

3. And probably by going to Web Site Options, and unticking 'Rely on VML for
faster graphics downloading...', and ' Allow PNG...'.

4. Redesigning your pages so that you use less graphics, or smaller graphics
that link to optional larger graphics.

5. After optimizing your images as per #1 above, then instead of embedding
your images, import then into your site using the insert html code fragment
feature, and thereby bypass the Pub 2003 coding engine. Here is an article
by David Bartosik that describes the process...just ignore the reference to
Pub 2000.
