Animated logo

[Mike]

Am trying to insert a logo onto one of my webpages. It happens to be
animated and appears without animation on my PC but doesn't publish nor show
on the actual website. I'd be happy for the logo not to be animated on the
webpage.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you
Mike

Hi Mike,

I am assuming that this is an animated .gif? Anyways..first make sure you
have the file in your web..by doing a File | Import Then after you have done
that you can insert the .gif into your page..If you are trying to insert the
image directly from a location on your hard drive..and not from it being
inside your web..you will probably run into problems.

As far as the animation goes..that needs to be done with an Image type
application..that allows you to work with animations. If this is a .gif
image though..one way to stop the animation would be to do a screen shot of
the page where the image is..then crop out everything except the image..and
then save that image as a .gif

Thanks Joe for your advice, yes it is a gif file. I hadn't been importing
the logo into my local webpages to start with, but was inserting the logo
directly from my hard drive into the webpage.

However, the problem still exists. All appears to be ok on my local webpage
and also when I 'preview in browser' but the logo fails to appear when I
publish the web.

I guess I'm being a bit dumb and missing a trick.

Best wishes
Mike

Hi Mike,

It's probably because the image itself still hasn't been published to your
online web or else the path shows a wrong address. Do you have a URL where
we can see this? Do you see a red x?

Hi Joe,

My website is www.tptiling.co.uk

I've got round the problem by taking your other advice of using a screen
shot of the source website page, cropping that to leave me with the required
logo.

No red 'x' has ever appeared.

Thanks for your interest, very much appreciated.

Mike

Joe, the logo in question is Trust-a-Trader.

Hi Mike,

Glad to hear you have sorted it out!

Although you didn't ask about this..I would like to offer up something else:

When using pictures on a web page..they really should be "optimized for the
web" first. Doing this will greatly reduce their file sizes..usually with no
visible difference (or very little) to the eye. So on your Home Page you
have 2 different jpg images..the sizes of those are: 2,051.640 bytes and
59,897 bytes Using an optimization program you could easily reduce those
images to something under 25,000 bytes each easily..based on their current
dimensions.

Also you have used spaces in their names..it is best not to do that..if you
want to separate numbers or wording in a file name..try using underscores _
rather than just having an empty space as a separator.

Once again Joe, thanks for your assistance, especially regarding the
optimization of website images. Have just downloaded / purchased software
for this purpose which seems to be astonishing in what it can do to reduce
file sizes without a noticeable loss of picture quality.
