If you are having trouble uploading images to your Site Builder account, please ensure that the image you are uploading does not contain any spaces in its name and is in lowercase lettering, for example,<\/p>\n

Bad image name.Jpg<\/p>\n

goodimagename.jpg<\/p>\n

Also the problem could be that your images are too large and have not been resized.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, many people upload photos from their digital cameras. As these photos get larger in size, they also become heavier and heavier in file size. Some of these images can even be many megabytes in size.<\/p>\n

Many new webmasters are not aware that these large images take quite a long time to download when they are placed on a website. It is a common mistake to simply upload these large files and then use your local web design tool to re-size an image to size it. Even though the image displays smaller, it does not change the file size of the source image.<\/p>\n

Here is an example:<\/p>\n

Link 1 (Loading Slow)<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– This is what it looks like when a large image is resized with HTML.<\/p>\n

Link 2 (Loading Properly)<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– And this is what it looks like when the image is resized before being uploaded.<\/p>\n

To fix this, you will need to resize your images in a graphics editor (ie. Photoshop Elements, MS Paint, Gimp) before you upload the image.<\/p>\n

Here are some links to popular image editing software:<\/p>\n

Download 1<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– PIXresizer is a photo resizing program to easily create web and e-mail friendly versions of your images with reduced file sizes<\/p>\n

Download 2<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– GIMP is a free image manipulation tool that is little tougher to use, but has almost the same feature set as Photoshop<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
