Hey guys I was trying to have you guys review a snapshot of my homepage (because I don't have a host yet) but the file was too big. Anyway to make it so i can show it?

Yep, I think the limit for uploads is about 58k or so, make it 50k and you should be ok (I'm sure a Mod will correct me if I'm wrong?)

Or you could host it at ImageShack (http://www.imageshack.us/) (1024kb limit).

Darn, it's just too big, atleast 1.7 MB.

You better start compressing it then :) . If you Email the files to me, I can host them temporarily for you... ollie[at]chilipie[dot]co[dot]uk

If it's a JPEG at 80% (you should consider 85% as a limit) it shouldn't be nealry that big. Is it a BMP or something?!

Well I think the reason it's too big is because I copied the header, the navigation and the picture to a paint file then saved it as a JPG. I probably made it less then 50% and it was still that big. Anyone have any ideas?

I guess I could save the header, the navigation and the picture seperate then attach them seperate then attach a picture showing the layout. Ex: Save header as "header.jpg" navigation as "navigation.jpg" and picture as "picture.jpg" then the layout as "layout.jpg"
Would this be ok?

Hmmm, I'd rather not have to piece together your layout for you... Surely you can compress it more than that?

Do you not have free hosting space with your ISP?

Well I have AOL and I tried that but it took too long to upload all the pictures (the original, hover, and pressed for the navigation). I don't use AOL tho I use IE and don't know about that.
