Organization of Photos
|
|
Player photos
on the website are currently organized to accommodate long term maintenance
of links on the site, in particular for html versions of newsletters. |
|
Three groups of
player photos are now provided. |
|
|
Active players |
|
|
All players at
a glance, sized for use in newsletters, 180 pixels wide which is just under
2 inches wide |
|
|
All players |
|
Whenever a link
to a player's photo is done that is to be shown at "full size", the link
should be made to the All players folder version. There is a subfolder
called "slides" in which the actual photos are found. |
|
Whenever a link
is to be done to show the picture in its smaller size, the "slide" in the At
a glance for newsletters version should be used. |
Newsletter Preparation
|
|
The normal and
long term way to may a Newsletter that uses photos is to
|
|
1 |
Create the
newsletter using the MS Word template file for newsletters |
|
2 |
Use the photo
of players from the At a glance, sized for newsletters page. Do a save
image as to download it to your local machine and then insert it into the
word document |
|
3 |
Create a PDF of
the document. |
|
4 |
Create an HTML
version of the Word document |
|
5 |
Send the the
web team the Word Document file, the PDF file and the HTML file along with
any subfolder created by the HTML file creation process. |
|
6 |
Once these
files are posted to the web site, to allow long term maintenance and to
prevent unnecessary duplication of photo storage, all the photos in the HTML
version of the newsletter should be replaced by directly linking to the
photo in the sized for newsletter slide collection |
|
|
|
There are several free PDF creation programs available. One that works
very well is PDF995 by Software995. This program lets you select a
"printer" when you print that will result in a PDF being created. This
allows you to save anything that you can print as a PDF file. |
