What is the easiest way to create a photo gallery for a Microsoft Publisher

Whenever I use publisher, I just create a blank page and copy/paste my pix
on the poage. It works great and looks good too. Check out my example at
www.mrmarkscars.com , I created that whole website using publisher.

Your web site crashes IE, I have no idea why. It works great with FireFox. Nice
web page.

Jim,

Since Mary mentioned that your site crashed IE on her computer, I decided to
take a peek at it. I don't know if it will crash my IE6, or not, because
after 10 minutes it still hasn't finished loading.

Two suggestions...it appears that you may have done a Save As to create your
html output. If so this creates unfiltered code that is very "heavy" and not
recommended. I would suggest that you first go to Tools > Options > Web tab
and uncheck "Rely on VML..." and "Allow PNG..." options. Then when you
produce new html output, do a "Publish to the Web" instead of a Save As.
This produces "filtered" html code.

Also, it appears that you have just pasted your large resolution images, and
they are the biggest reason for the page taking so long to load. While
optimizing the images for the web in a third party image editing program is
probably the best choice, you can also compress the images significantly and
increase the loading time. Reference: Compress graphics file sizes to create
smaller Publisher Web pages:

Just some suggestions so folks can see pictures of that primo mustang
faster....

As an example of what I am saying, the picture of the owners manual is 730
kb by itself.

That means it takes about 3 to 4 minutes for that one image to load with a
dial-up connection. Your original image is a 200 dpi 1800X938 image. If you
don't want to resize and optimize the image before you insert it, at least
run the compress graphics feature.

If you want an easiest way, I would use Porta to create the html photo
gallery, upload it to a subfolder on my site, and link to it from my
Publisher page. Porta is really easy to use...
