I’m still playing with these sites.

Meg has used them for awhile. I practiced on a couple of graphics and they worked mostly very well. On one, I could not get it to reduce; it was huge to begin with.

If you would like to post a couple of examples, that would be great.

Thank you. I want the Amy’s Place experience to be a good one for everbody.

PS: On the one prior to reducing, please don’t use one with 400,000 bytes. * smile *

I have just about an hour before I have to go to a meeting. Wanted to check in and say hi, and show you where I spent my two-day vacation.

This link (which I can't activate) will take you to the Ashland, Ky newspaper and the audio slide show. The article about the place is under "Living History." I was one of the actors. I sat on the porch of the Benjamin Ulen cabin and welcomed "Land Grant settlers" to ole Kantuck. Mama Bear will soon tell you about Caty (Catherine) Ulen. She met her on her trip to WV. I think you can just highlight the URL and put it in your space at the top. LOL. Can you tell how computer ignorant I am?

I play with them..skirt around problems with graphic too large for them to take ..Sometimes it works..gets them down enough to use the optimizer
I cut the dimensions to 640 at Imageshack. Very very large and it will balk at loading..

it has a place to scroll for desired dimensions ..That will somtimes cut the bytes down enough to put in the Optimizer and reduce bytes further..I am loading new copies into my computer and deleting old large byte copies all the time..I found tinypic links seem to work more often than others in the Optimizer sites.

The photo on the left is 40k, the right side is 20k. When viewing them side by side and looking for differences, they are easy to spot. Othewise they wouldn't be noticed.

The original was 1000 x 899 and 138k.
