Re: [APML] Picture Resolution For Web

Thanks Joe, Dale, Jeff, Chuck and Roland (& anyone else who
replied/replies).

Yes I've seen a couple of APML'ers with multi resolution pics on their site.
Good idea.

But I think it's important to see the whole picture as large as possible
without having to scroll around too much (there are exceptions in my opinion
to this - Mr. Gendlers M31 for example, deserves a larger format and would
lose something at a smaller resolution IMO)

I'm just going to have to mull this over and decide what works best

Thanks to all for response

Best
Eddie Guscott
