4 GUEST ARTICLE OR TIP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Put your Graphics on a Diet! :by Peter de Pradines
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A picture's worth a thousand words. Which splendid old guru said that? Wasn't me, I can assure you - I don't qualify for the 'guru' part.

No doubt one day somebody will eMail me and tell me (thank you) but it sounds a bit like my old mate Bill Shakespeare to me. Have you noticed? It's funny how people called 'Bill' seem to do really quite well for themselves when it comes to getting remembered. Odd isn't it?

Whoever it was I wonder if they were considering the Web at the time. Probably not, but do you know why? Well you sure don't get a lot of picture for the equivalent of a thousand words on the Web these days. 

Let's stop guessing and look at some real facts and figures for a 
change. Then we can be pretty sure what sort of return we're getting on our graphic investments.

A thousand word text file equates to around 25 lines of regular web text. As a strict text file this would weigh-in as a file around 
5,767 bytes. A very plain and simple 16 color GIF optimized to the limit will give you a single 150 x 150 pixel picture. Not a lot of 
real estate there to display the Brooklyn Bridge - or not even a good quality reproduction of a postage stamp for that matter! This graphic file would be around 5,746 bytes.

These are actual figures - I just tried it.

So there you have the trade-off - 25 lines of text or not a very good quality picture of a postage stamp or anything else taking up the same amount of screen real estate.

Okay - I know, there's much more to graphics than what they 
communicate. They make the 'place' look nice, they give interest and a welcome break for the eyes after struggling with the hieroglyphics we know as letters and words. Sure - this is very true, but it comes at a price.

Too much graphics = too many bytes = too long to download = too few visitors with the interest or patience to wait for our wondrous works of art. So what's to do then? Our web pages are going to be pretty dull without graphics.

Easy - put 'em on a diet! Here's a dozen tips to help you do this.

1) Crop images
--------------
It may seem obvious, but the most effective way to speed up image load-time is to use smaller images. Either crop images to focus on what really matters or scale them down to make them smaller and eliminate unneeded details. 

2) Reduce colors
---------------- 
If you use GIFs for your images, an easy way to cut file size is to use an image editor to reduce the bit depth. The bit depth controls how many colors are available in the image's color palette. The maximum bit depth for GIF images is 8, which provides a full 256-color palette. I try to reduce the color palette as much as possible, often down to 4 bits (16 colors) if the image still looks good. 

3) Use JPEG for Photos
---------------------- 
While GIF is the granddaddy of Internet image formats, JPEG has become the premier format for compressing photographic images. Both GIF and JPEG compress images, but JPEG does a much better job of crunching images with lots of colors, especially photographs. JPEG's other benefit is color depth--GIFs can have no more than 256 colors, but JPEGs can use a full 24-bit color palette to create millions of colors. 

Often GIFs have a larger file size but lower image quality than the JPEG. That won't always be the case--in certain circumstances, such as an image that uses only a few colors, a GIF may equal or outdo the quality of a JPEG at a smaller file size. But for photos, JPEG is usually the superior format. 

4) Display low-res images while loading
---------------------------------------
If you can't actually speed your site's download time, making it seem faster is the next best thing. One trick that Netscape introduced in Navigator 2.0 (it's also supported in Internet Explorer 3.0 and later) is the lowsrc attribute. Adding the lowsrc attribute lets browsers display a low-res version of a GIF or JPEG while downloading the regular version. This technique gives users an idea of what the image will look like before the final image is visible. It's especially useful for image maps, since it allows users to see the clickable hot spots and surf away without having to wait for the full image to load. 

You add the lowsrc attribute to the <IMG> tag like this: 

<IMG src="highres.gif" lowsrc="lowres.gif"> 

Of course, it's up to you to make sure that lowres.gif actually is 
smaller than highres.gif. One common trick is to use a smaller or 
black-and-white version of the image as your low-res version. If 
you've specified the image size, browsers will scale the smaller image to match the specification. 

Just remember: this trick isn't actually making your pages any faster.In fact, it increases overall download time by adding an extra image. But, if done right, the page will seem more responsive because users will get something to look at sooner. 

5) Interlace your GIFs
----------------------
The nice thing about displaying low-res images while loading is that it works with either JPEG or GIF images. In fact, the lowsrc image can be a JPEG while the normal image is a GIF, or vice versa. But if you don't want to hassle with creating two separate versions of all your images, a GIF-only trick called interlacing achieves a similar effect. 

Interlacing paints the image on the screen as a series of interleaved horizontal lines that are gradually filled in, like venetian blinds opening. This gives users a sneak preview of the image so they can decide whether they want to keep waiting for the full image to appear. Most Web-savvy graphics editors let you save GIF images in interlaced format. 

6) Specify height and width
--------------------------- 
Don't be lazy--wherever you use the <IMG> tag, always include the height and width attributes. This tells the browser exactly how much space to give to the graphic, which means the browser can load the text around the graphic without waiting for the full image to download. Most image-editing tools can tell you the exact dimensions of any compatible image. 

For example, if you had a file called image.gif and the image was 50 pixels high by 100 pixels wide, the <IMG> tag might look something like this: 

<IMG src="image.gif" height="50" width="100"> 

7) Don't scale down images
--------------------------
You may be tempted to scale down your graphics the easy way: by altering the height and width attributes in the <IMG> tag instead of actually cropping or resizing them with an image editor. This is not a good idea. 

For one thing, you'll spend an awful lot of time tweaking the tag to avoid distorting the image. Second, scaling down the image wastes bandwidth - you end up sending a bigger image than is necessary. Also, you're asking the client's browser to do the work, which can cause delays as the browser scales the images before displaying them. In general, it's best to use an image editor to trim images to the correct size. 

8) Do scale solid colors to create a color bar
----------------------------------------------
Even though you shouldn't scale down images, there are a few times when it's a good idea to scale up. If you need solid-colored bars on a page, instead of sending down a GIF of each bar, you can speed downloading by creating an image that's one pixel high and one pixel wide, then setting the height and width attributes to the desired dimensions for each bar. 

There's still the possibility of delay as the user's browser scales 
the graphic, but that should be more than outweighed by the faster download of one tiny GIF. To make sure, test both approaches before implementing this trick on your site. 

9) Trim animated GIFs
---------------------
Animated GIFs display a series of images - one on top of another - to create the illusion of motion. Depending on how efficient you are at creating it, an animated GIF can be smaller than an equivalent applet or plug-in animation. But the real advantage is that, unlike an appletor plug-in, your browser doesn't need to spend time starting up the Java Virtual Machine or launching a plug-in application. 

The problem is that, since an animated GIF is really just a series of regular GIFs pasted together, the file can easily mushroom to an unwieldy size. One way to control that growth is to start with a 
single background GIF and then create the animation by placing smaller GIFs on top of the background. Most GIF animation tools support this "leave in place" option, letting you paint a series of smaller GIFs on top of the first instead of using a full-size GIF for each cell. 

10) Use thumbnail images
------------------------ 
Another relatively simple way to minimize the graphics load on your site is to use thumbnail images. Thumbnails are reduced versions or portions of larger graphics. The thumbnail links to a separate page that carries the full-size image. Thumbnails can reduce download time by allowing users who don't want to see a full-sized image skip downloading one. 

Users who are really interested in seeing the screen shot can click the thumbnail, which links to a full-sized version. Everyone else can skip waiting for the full-sized image to load. 

A number of Web development tools automatically generate thumbnails. FrontPage 98, for example, automatically generates linked thumbnails without requiring you to leave the HTML page editor. 

11) Break images into reusable parts
------------------------------------ 
If you reuse images or parts of images in different places on your 
site, you can speed downloading by breaking them up. For example, many large graphics are actually a series of small GIFs, not one big GIF. That way, only a single small GIF needs to be downloaded to update a menu selection as a mouse moves over it or it's clicked.

Complex graphics can even be a mixture of GIFs and JPGs - each format being used where it gives the greatest quality for the minimum bytes. This is done by slicing and reformatting selected areas of the image .If you think you'd like to get into this then you'll needs some pretty good quality software like Adobe Photoshop or similar. 

Don't get out of control here - as you break images apart you'll have to come up with a layout structure, such as a table, that will let you re-assemble the pieces. The more pieces, the more complex the structure to hold them together. You have to balance that complexity with the bandwidth you're saving by reusing your images. 

The nature of the protocols used to send pages over the Web adds another complicating factor. For example, browsers and Web servers that use older versions of HTTP have to reconnect and retrieve each image separately. That extra overhead means it might be faster to download a single large image than a number of smaller ones. You should also take that into account when determining if the savings from reusing images is worth the effort. 

12) Provide a text-only version or alternate text
------------------------------------------------- 
Of course, the best way to minimize graphics download time is to 
eliminate graphics altogether. If your site is relatively small you 
might consider providing a text-only version so people with slow 
connections - or who have graphics turned off in their browsers - can still view your site. 

If you don't want to provide a text-only version, be sure to include 
ALT attributes with your images. Most browsers display alt information in place of the image if the user has images disabled in their browser. By using the alt attribute, you can give your 
graphics-disabled users some idea of what they're missing. 

For example, if you had an image of the London Bridge that was 100 pixels high and 250 pixels wide, the <IMG> tag using the alt attribute might look like this: 

<IMG src="london.gif" height="100" width="250" ALT="London Bridge">

Short of giving all your graphics a quick run around the block these are the quickest and easiest ways of trimming then down to their minimum. Graphics will always consume more download bandwidth than text - you have to bring down every pixel, not just a coded key that represents a fully formed character.

But that's what makes them unique, that's why they add style, color and a rest for the old eyeballs along the way. Just get them down to the skinniest possible and your visitors will thank you for your time.

This I promise you.

This week I want to tell you all about a new shopping cart with a Free plug in for FrontPage. Firstly there are two versions of the cart for different Operating systems, namely NT and Unix.

CartIt NT 3.0 
http://www.cartit.com/dynamic/siteripper/cartitnt3.html
CartIt for NT, a powerhouse Internet shopping cart system designed and built specifically for the Windows operating system. CartIt NT is the shopping cart that is customizable, flexible and capable. 

CartIt UNIX 4.0 
http://www.cartit.com/dynamic/siteripper/cartitunix4.html
CartIt for UNIX 4.0 is the new standard in e-commerce applications. CartIt UNIX 4.0 takes e-commerce to the next level by introducing order and customer management! CartIt UNIX 4.0 is designed for UNIX web servers AND assumes that you have access to a Windows operating system to retrieve your order

CommerceMonkey (FREE Add-on)
http://www.cartit.com/dynamic/siteripper/download_pre_monkey.html
CommerceMonkey is designed for Microsoft® FrontPage® users who are managing small commerce sites.

CommerceMonkey™ 2.0 beta for FrontPage® 98 and 2000:

And 

CommerceMonkey™ 1.0 for FrontPage® 98 only:

CommerceMonkey adds a new menu to the FrontPage Editor environment. It is a client side development tool, which means that is runs on your computer and not on the server, so no FrontPage server extensions need to be installed on your Internet server. All you need to do is download and install the program on your local computer. CommerceMonkey will assist in designing catalog pages for both the UNIX and NT versions of CartIt.

This plug-in is designed for catalog page creation. Remember that you will still need a shopping cart system to plug your catalog into!
Both NT and UNIX versions of CartIt are ready for SSL!
Additionally, and this is extremely important, CartIt NT also has built-in encryption of credit card numbers for e-mail transport and CartIt for UNIX uses CommerceBuddy for order retrieval, which has built-in HTTPS compatibility. 

So, not only is CartIt SSL ready for encryption between the web browser and the server, but it also handles encryption between your server and your local computer, something very important that is left unmentioned by most shopping cart providers. 
CommerceMonkey™ plug-ins for Microsoft® FrontPage® are now available for FrontPage 2000. We have launched the http://frontpage.cartit.com web site, complete with a tutorial to help you get aquatinted with this new product.
