What would you say is the easiest, simplest way to reduce the size of an image on the Internet?

You can only control the DISPLAYED size of an image, not its actual data content. To adjust the actual data size (read: download time) you must download, modify, save and re-post to the iNet.

To set the DISPLAYED size of an image, add modifiers to the <img tag like so:

<img src="URL GOES HERE" alt="OPTIONAL DESCRIPTION" width=XXX height=YYY> (width and height units are pixels)

<img src="http://www.rogersrants.com/uploads/RonaldReagan.jpg" alt="Ronald Reagan"> produces the full-sized image:

...while <img src="http://www.rogersrants.com/uploads/RonaldReagan.jpg" alt="Ronald Reagan - Small" width=200 height=143> produces this:

I am writing all this down furiously (ok, not really but I am copying and pasting)
Thank you.

Hi TC. I think some people might get annoyed if we discuss this here - even though this might benefit many here who want to post pictures and have some fun as long as the pictures are not huge in Kilo Bytes. Most pictures should be under 100KB (as in your large Reagan Pic which is only 57KB). or 200KB Max, if they have text to be read. At least that is my criteria.

IS THERE A PLACE TO talk about this other than here?... The HTML SANBOX probably, right?

Back to the issue, I think I understand what you are saying but not 100% sure. I see the two Reagan pictures, two difference 'sizes' (in dimensions), but the same amout of KBs for both! Interesting, I was not aware you could do that... But unfortunately impractical for our purpose becaue the whole point of changing the size of the picture is mostly to reduce the KBs.(Kilo Bytes), which is what slows down dial-up lines, and many people still have them.

BTW, what is "iNet?" Do you mean the Internet or something else? Perhaps we could put together a small tutorial for our friends here in Sarahs pad :)
