How to resize an embedded image:
In a new window go to: http://www.shrinkpictures.com/ - Browse your computer and select your image/photo to resize
- Select the new size for your picture - use a preset or choose a custom size
- Optionally, add an effect to your image
- Select output image/picture quality Lower quality means a smaller file
- Click "Resize" and wait for the processed images to be displayed
- Click "Download this picture now", save on your harddrive
FOURTH THING: Near the bottom of the header, just underneath the "Search" form, there is an area where we display our latest news and special coupons for our readers. Some of our readers may have trouble viewing this in certain browsers. For those people who cannot see the scrolling banner, there is a hard copy of the contents available to you. On the far right, you'll see a little link "View Coupons." This will pop open a new window that has a table with all of the same information that appears in our news scroller. It's a basic HTML table that contains each of the items we display in the banner, just in a format that shouldn't be blocked by a firewall or your web browser. If you are really restricted and your browser cannot run javascript, which is required to open a pop-up window, the coupons can be viewed in a standalone page here: http://forum.slowtwitch.com/.../ticker/coupons.cgi, which simply generates the same table as appears in the pop-up window.
