Images
Understanding copies and references
You can save a lot of time if you think about how to use images. At
your finished site all images are links to a file (the links tells the browser
to load the image with a given filename).
If you import an image 'pic1' with SiteGenWiz as image 'mypic' and
then import the same image as image 'mypic2' and include both images to a
page in the editor, you will see two identical images.
Now import 'pic2' as 'mypic2': The images are different now.
That may just be what you intended to do, but there other cases:
Import just one bullet image for list items and one divider for
paragraph separations (e.g. as 'mybullet' and 'mydivider'). Now changing these
files affects all bullets and dividers throughout your site.
File Formats
The JPG format offers fairly good image qualitiy and low file
sizes.
Format PNG improves image quality at the cost of larger
files.
The file size issue
If you encounter long upload or loading times take a look at the
sizes of you images. Normally, images take the large part of data transmission.
Try to use the JPG format or smaller image dimensions.
