4.1.4.3 Hints
Below is a list of hints for publishing web pages
- Windows will not allow multiple applications to open the same file at the same time. If you seem to be having trouble opening a file, make sure it is not open in another application.
- As you add other files to your homepage, put them in the `temp' directory. This will make all of the procedures simpler.
- Try to make your web pages small, and link them together. This will decrease download time and make browsers happier.
- Avoid using excessive images. Anything over 10K will make it very slow downloading over modem. Anything over 100K makes modem downloading painfully slow.
- When putting images on the web page use `jpg' for photographic images, and `gif' for line images. `jpg' images can be compressed more than `gif', but lines will become blurred.
- To link to other files or web pages there will be a `link' command. If you want to add a file that is in your `temp' directory, just put the name of the file in the `URL' field.
- Watch upper/lower case. This is a major cause of web page problems.
