To prepare the eCard images
Note: You need to create a full-sized version and a thumbnail version for all the eCard images.
-
Create the eCard full-sized images. Edit a series of images in any image-editing software that allows you to save Web-ready images, such as Photoshop. It is recommended that you use the same, Web-friendly size for all of your images. For example, you can set them to be no larger than 650 by 650 pixels and 72 pixels per inch.
-
Create the eCard thumbnails.
-
Save thumbnail versions of each full-sized image.
-
Make the thumbnails identical or nearly identical to each other in size and aspect-ratio.
-
Name each thumbnail consistently with its associated full-sized eCard image. For example, the full-sized image may be monument-ecard.jpg, while its associated thumbnail is monument-thumb.jpg.
-
Create a unique folder for your site's thumbnail images, such as /ecards/thumbnails/.
-
Upload the thumbnail images to the new folder immediately, as the base content type, Image.
-
Create a unique folder for your site's full-sized, eCard images, such as /ecards/ecard-images/.
Note: You do not have to create a unique content type for thumbnails as it is for the full-sized eCard images.
