Many photos are very large files, and often the full size of the picture is bigger than you want to display. You can use HTML code to shrink or enlarge how pictures look on your page, but if the file size is too big, it will take forever to load. I relied extensively on Microsoft Photo Editor to crop and resize most of the photos for our web page. I try to keep all the pictures less than 20 KB if possible, so as not to lose my audience over too much waiting time.

Our local ISP, Sonic.net, was a great help with all the tools and instructions on creating feedback forms and CGI scripts that interact with the visitor and e-mail the results to the club. Over time, as I have learned more, I have added additional pages, links and features to our pages. We now use frames for a constant menu of page links in view while moving through our site. We also have added a few Javascript functions to provide a more user-friendly environment. Not all the pages are created from scratch using HTML code.
