Batch Resizing of Images For Your Website
Do you need to upload lots of images to display as thumbnails on your website? Then have it show enlargements when you click on the thumbnail? Maybe you are showing off photographs or paintings? You may have a graphics program that can resize an image one at a time, but that is not efficient if you need to resize more than just a few images.

Screen Resolution – What does it mean in English? How does that affect my website?
Screen Resolution. You heard of it, and seen numbers like 1024 x 768. But what does that mean exactly? With printed materials everyone knows what 8 ½ x 11 inches means. You can measure it with a ruler. What about your computer monitor? Can you measure it in inches? Well, yes you can, but that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how much information you can see on your screen.

Announcing Our Blog Launch
Today is the launch of our Gigshowcase.com blog site! What will this blog be about? I will be writing articles mostly of interest to those who manage or just have a website. They will include information, tips and how-to articles that might be helpful to website owners or anyone getting ready to start a website. There will also be articles about blogging and other social media and how it relates to your website.
Many of my article ideas were inspired by questions I am often asked by my clients. Hopefully many more readers will benefit by incorporating these answers in our blog articles.
My goal is to write in a style that gets fairly detailed information across but in “not-too-techie” plain English. I feel my strength is communicating in a way that someone with just decent computer skills (not a programmer or professional techie) can understand.
I plan on writing one detailed article on a regular basis with occasionally short articles in between. Be looking for the first article shortly!
