OK before the template went on I uploaded a piccy from my computer no problems. the template went on the same day and the piccy's still showed. I took them of as they were tests and today I tried using exactly the same way to upload a photo this being from my computer and it will not apppear.

Any ideas as to what I can do to sort this please.

Thanks

Where and how are you uploading photo/image to?

Twinkle · #3 (**permalink**) 15-04-2008, 05:35 PM

I have sub cats in now and I clicked on the sub cat, clicked browse then clicked the phot I wanted to upload. I then clicked preview and nothing no piccy whatsoever. It seems awfully strange but when I uploaded for the tests it was in the cat as opposed to the sub cat don't know if this makes any difference.

Sorted this out now and got photo's loading. Problem was when clicking browse I had the little menu at the side on all files and not jpeg.

Thanks for your help.

OK it has been brought to my attentiosn that when larger image is clicked on on my site the image is massive so although I resized the images I did not do them enough.

I am using Gimp as I do not have photoshop is there an easy way to resize images in bulk please.

Also how do I resize using pixels as the resizer please as opposed to the cropping method I have used as I cannot crop any more or I will loose the picture.

Thanks

OK managed to get a photo resized down to 13kb using Paint any smaller and I can't see it.

Will this size be OK and yes over 300 to do and looks like I will be doing them one by one.

Fantastic I have managed to edit them all at the click of a button like you said.

Photo's gone down from 750kb's to 15kb's

some difference hey. I know they are still not the ideal size but tried them smaller and as I said I couldn't see them. I have a Bandwidth of 5,000 so I should be OK with this size.

Now just have to change them over on the site and all is well, then on

to Meta Tags which ain't hard.

Thankyou for your help again.
