WARNING!!! Do not use any graphic on your page unless its dimensions are no more then 300-400 pixels and the file size is less than 75KB. To read more on this please read: Resizing Graphic File Dimensions (pixels) and Size (KB) You have to upload the graphics to your file manager before you can use them on the web. This is most important for Page Builder users. You should examine the graphic with a graphics editor like the free Irfanview and modify the dimensions and file size before uploading to your site.

There are two kinds of graphics or pictures you can put on your web page with Page Builder:

1. GeoCities pictures - these are free graphics that GeoCities provides for your use.

2. Your Own Graphics - use either .jpg or .gif file. You cannot use .bmp or .jpeg graphics as Page Builder doesn't recognize them.

If you would like to start up Page Builder while reading my help pages, then click here to start Page Builder up in a new window.

FREE GRAPHIC EDITOR!

If you don't have a graphics editor like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop, which are expensive, $100 or more, then I recommend you try this excellent FREE graphics editor. Download IRFANVIEW here. Read my write up on Irfanview here.
