Re: BITMAPS

[Marilynne Smith <marilyns -at- QUALCOMM -dot- COM>]

Get a shareware copy of PaintShopPro, use it to convert your bitmaps to
.gif format.

If you insist on using bitmaps, be sure to define your image size (height
and width) in your HTML code.  Unless you define the size of the image, it
will print different sizes on different browsers.  Your readers will not
like the result.  Defining the height and width will also help your graphic
to load faster.

Also, consider the number of colors in your graphic.  Cut it down some and
it will not take quite so much room.
