how do i make thumbnails?
A thumbnail is usually a small photo that links to a larger photo. Thumbnails are used so that you can fit many small photos on one page and if someone would like to see one of your photos in a larger format, they can click on the photo and be brought to a page with a much larger version of the small photo.
There are 3 different ways to make thumbnails:
- The first way is to take your original large
photo, and if it's named "myfriends.jpg" you would just make a
code to make a smaller image out of it like this (you can change the info in
bold):
<a href="http://YourURLwithLargeImage.com"><img src="myfriends.jpg" width="70" height="50" border="0">
After you have this new, smaller image you would just link the small image to another one of your pages that has the large image on it.
- You can also scan 2 different sizes of one
photo. This keeps the smaller thumbnail in the proper proportion when you
put it on your page. Then you would link the small photo to the large one on
another page.
- The BEST way is to use a graphics program, like Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop, and make 2 different images. Make one small image for your thumbnail, and another larger image for your full sized image.
