HOJC has defined an image as a graphic where as a picture is a photo (they are both really pictures but we separate them for distinction and categorization).  

To add a picture to your website:  click on the picture to enlarge it to is real size (the ones shown with a border are in thumbnail size), click the larger picture, select save, select directory and name to save it to, then save.  You now have the Picture in your directory.  As with images, it is best to have a specific directory for your Pictures because you may link to them many times.  By having your pictures in one directory, you don't have to hunt through many directories for a specific picture.

One of the main thing to know about pictures is that the bigger they are, the more time it takes to download it and the slower the page load response time.  Anything less than 100 KB will download fast.  Above that, use the Image with discretion.  

One of the thing that HOJC does is to make a Thumbnail of the picture for the page if we are going to have a lot of pictures.  A thumbnail is just a smaller picture with reduced pixels that is hyper linked to the bigger picture.  When you click on a thumbnail, the original picture is shown.

To create a thumbnail:

In FrontPage, click on the picture, on the picture toolbar (usually pops up when you click on a picture unless you have it turned on in View/Toolbars and it is anchored on your top toolbar).  Click on the third item from the left (your mouse over should say "Auto Thumbnail") and you now have a thumbnail.  When you save your file, you will be asked to save the thumbnail.  Be aware that this is not the original picture, so save it.

Remember, most pictures you find on the Web are copyrighted.   For example, it you use a picture from the HOJC Pictures, you should ask permission to use it.  Of course, since you are developing on the HOJC system for the Glory of God, we allow you to use any picture of yourself without requesting permission.  For anyone else, please ask and include the photo.  Be aware that we do not allow the use of full Last names on our websites and we would appreciate it if you would not list specific people in a picture in order as a security measure.

To hyperlink a picture, do it the same way you hyperlink an image:

In Frontpage, right click on the image and select picture properties.  Type in the mouse over text you want to show  in the Alternative Representation Text.  Then under Default Hyperlink Location, type in or select the "Browse".  If browsing, at the right of the URL are some icons.  

• Use the world with a magnifying glass to go out to the internet browser and find the page you want (be aware that once you find the page, action stops.  Close your browse and the URL that was in your browser will be in the URL before the icon); 
• Select a file in the area above the URL area (this is your website) if the link if not on the current page.
• Do NOT Click on the file to link to a file on your own computer.  If you select a file on your computer, when you turn your computer off, your link will fail (and you don't want people accessing your home computer anyway.  To get a file from your home computer to link in a webpage, open the Windows Explorer that shows all the files on your home computer, right click the file you want and select copy.  Select the directory in FrontPage that you want to copy the file to (folderlist view) and right click select paste.  Now you can select this file above the URL area.  Do note that when you update your file on your computer, the one on your webpage will not be updated. 
• The envelope is for people to send you an email.  Click on the envelop and type the entire email address you want in the textbox, then save.
• The White paper page at the far right is a new page that is not created on your page.  When you click on this page, select the type of page you want, you have a brand new page to make and save.  Be aware that the page you started from is not saved at this point, you must go back and save it to have the link to your new page.  You can open files on your own computer and copy and paste the material into this page (but sometimes there are formatting problems you must correct - like additional spaces).
• To link to something on the same page, first you must Insert/Bookmark by selecting the thing to link to, On the Insert menus, click Bookmark, say ok to select what they think the name should be or type your own then ok.  Now select the item that will link to your bookmark, under the URL is a box for bookmark, pull down the textbox and select the bookmark you chose.  Note: You can link to other pages bookmarks by having both pages open at once (if the bookmarked page is closed, no bookmarks will show up in the bookmark box).  

Then in the Target Frame click on the pencil, select "Same Frame" then save that (OK) then save (OK) the picture properties.  You now have a link.  To test it, put your cursor over the link in Frontpage, it will say "Use control-click to follow a hyperlink" so you know that it worked.
