1. Make a subdirectory on your hard drive called 
     /GAC for you html, jpg files... 

 2. a. download template at 
     www.greensburgartclub.org/template.html 
     or 
    b. Compose your own page 
        I use netscape 4.7 (very easy...simple) 
        (down load at netscape.com for free) 
         http://wp.netscape.com/download/archive/client_archive4x.html
        and compose your own page, or use front page or any html 
        program 

 To use Netscape.... 

 1. Open browser 

 2. Under “Communicator” go to “Composer” 

 3. go to Format...to “Page Colors and Properties” and pick 
    a. background color, links colors, etc. 
    b. enter any info under “general” that you want... 
        i.e. name, description, keywords such as the club, your 
       name, artist, oil color...etc 
    c. meta tags...just disregard for now 

 4. save as “yourfilename.html” in the your GAC subdirectory 
     a. place all images you wish to use in this directory as well 
     b. see preparing images for the web below

 5. type any information you wish on the page... 
     you can go to "insert" to insert links, images, table etc. 
     don’t be afraid to experiment... can always start over or 
     “undo.” 
     To make links, either darken down running mouse over text 
     or click on an image and go to "insert"...."link" 
     “image properties” (left mouse button) for outline, allignment 
     etc. 

 6. you must save the file in order for changes to be seen in your browser... 

 7. open up page from hard drive with you browser...
     go to “open file” 
     under “File” to call up the page to see 
     what it looks like in a browser... 
     got to subdirectory /GAC... call up your saved page... 
     to monitor your saved work, go to “reload” or “refresh” 

 8. to include your email on the page 
     a. type your name... 
     b. darken down with mouse 
     c. go to "insert a link" 
     d. type "mailto:yourusername@yourmailserver 
         exp. mailto:admin@greensburgartclub.com 

 9. when page is complete, email  admin@greensburgartclub.org 
      attach your .html files, plus any images i/e. .jpgs or .gifs included on 
      or linked from your page 
 

 I will look it over, adjust the links/photos for our server and send 
 back the url where your page is located to submit for search engines
 or to give out to anyone you want to see your work. 
 
 

 1. Images for the web must be in .jpg or .gif format. 

 2. open an image in any photo program... 
     a. you can take photos with a regular camera and request a cd for 
         digital photos or use a digital camera. If huge photos come to me, 
         I will resize them appropriately for the web. 
     b. open photos, save as a .jpg or .gif (compressed files) 
          1. go to save as...choose .jpg.... save “yourpaintingtitle.jpg” 
          2. Thumbnails usually run between 10k to 15k... 
                 i.e. 1.5” to 2” largest dimensionn 
                 (good idea to keep them small esp 
                 if there are a lot of images on the page... 
                 loads much faster and 
                 surfers can look at detail (link) if desired 

 3.  Larger jpgs...(linked from thumbnails) 
       usually between 400 to 600k 
       (approx 6” to 7” largest dimension) 

 4. to change the size of your jpg... go to image size 
     (make certain “constrain proportions” is “on”) and 
     save in the /GAC subdirectory on your drive
     for use in your html pages
