Can some of you who are good with graphics tell me any
standards I need to consider in converting photo quality (4.1
megapixel or better) images into images that are suitable for Web
quality?

I have a number of photos that I want to use on the Web. I'm
sure there are some 'rules of thumb' to follow to achieve a high
degree of picture quality without creating enormous download files.

Any feedback or links to this type of information would be
greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Fred

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to
indiscriminately send unsolicited bulk messages. While the most widely
recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar
abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam,
Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, mobile phone
messaging spam, Internet forum spam and junk fax transmissions.

Spamming is economically viable because advertisers have no
operating costs beyond the management of their mailing lists, and it
is difficult to hold senders accountable for their mass mailings.
Because the barrier to entry is so low, spammers are numerous, and the
volume of unsolicited mail has become very high. The costs, such as
lost productivity and fraud, are borne by the public and by Internet
service providers, which have been forced to add extra capacity to
cope with the deluge. Spamming is widely reviled, and has been the
subject of legislation in many jurisdictions."
