Hi - my jpegs look terrible and I've been very careful
not to let them touch any other object or line or
anything that might turn them into a gif -- but that
certainly look gif ugly.

All help appreciated.

If they are turning out as a gif then you have some other object involved.
If you can't identify that something then publish the page and post your url
for my review.

I've just started building a website and I'm having
problems with jpegs. When I do a preview or look at the
site I find that my jpegs have been converted to gifs. Is
this the same as your problem? If I get a solution I'll
let you know.

Very new to creating web sites, I am trying Publisher 2003 as my software.

I read your FAQ "Why do the photos I inserted on my web page look terrible". My photos don't look bad however they are delayed when calling the page so I used 'Boundaries and Guides' to alleviate overlays where possible. I am using a Pushlisher background with images on top of that: please reference http://www.spudsrestaurant.com. The company logo and spuds banner take about 1 second to populate as well as any other "image" inserted on all pages

Can you make any suggestions to speed up the page loading

Regards
Marshall

Rethink the design.

That's a pretty large image. Visit other sites on the web. You'd be hard
pressed to find a large image like that used. And the background takes time.
It's not needed. The links are graphics, that's more time, they could be
text. Take a look at the page - www.davidbartosik.com - reasonable size pics
and textual links and white background.

A web designer has to decide which is more important, design ideas or load
time. Every designer makes concessions at some point. You might want to
review some of the articles at http://www.davidbartosik.com/web.htm
