This is a small website built with Publisher 2000 which uses 1.75 mb of
server space. It is built off of the email address osia1294@iinet.com.

Publisher 2000 does create large files; it's the nature of the animal.

It may help to reduce the file sizes if you start with either gif or png
image files.

Another option would be to use a later release of Publisher or a different
web creating program.

Are you confusing the file size of the Pub file with the file size of the
images after you Save as a Web Page? Publisher 2000 stores embedded jpg
images in an uncompressed format, so the original Publisher file will be
larger than expected. However, when you Save As a Web page and produce your
html code Publisher resizes and resamples the images to 96 dpi. So check the
size of your images that are produced for publishing. If you are using the
default "Publish" folder to contain your html output, look at the file size
of that folder. Are you saying that the images in that folder are 800 kb? Is
that folder larger than 20 mb?

A 200 kb pix is still waaayy too big, you should optimize and resize your
images BEFORE you place them in your design...try using Irfanview (freebie)
to batch resize your images first.
