Creating a Thumbnails Page

Before you begin this assignment take a look at what some different size images look like. This will give you some kind of feel for how large images in pixels are.

1. Create a new web page and save it as thumbnails.html

2. Go to one of the image sites listed on the links page and save four different images. Try to pick some kind of theme so the images are somehow related. Also try to pick images that are at least 500 pixels wide or larger. When you save each of these images give them descriptive names and be sure that you include lg in each name to indicate these are large pictures.

3. Use Paint or Fireworks to reduce the image size of each large image down to 200 X 150 pixels and resave each image wiht the same name but replace lg with sm for small.

4. Insert the four small images into your web page being sure to give each an alt text attribute with the URL where you obtained the image.

5. Make each small image on your page a link to the larger image.

6. Give each image an appropriate caption and write an explanation of what this page demonstrates.

7. Demonstrate your thumbnail page to your instructor for teacher check.
