Thread: Set width & height dimensions

Hello,

My site is www.portret.is , it's still under construction..

Hopefully someone can explain this to me.

I was checking SEO of my site and they mention the following..

"Not all images on page have width & height dimensions: Make sure all img tags have height & width attributes"

How do I set these dimensions? When I look at the properties of the pictures in BV I can't find anything to do that.

Thanks and regards,

Gmark

SEO has NOTHING to do with your height and width dimensions. Whats important is that you have the ALT TAG used properly.

BV generally does this for you when you insert the pic, and then you get the handles to SIZE it.. otherwise its whatever size it is and if you right click on it ..choose properties the box that comes up will usually tell you what the dimensions are.

That would come under proper code under the W3C html compliance codes and NOTHING to do with SEO

thank you Karen

Further to the above. I'm finding difficult to set the correct proportions for my images. When imported they are way too big and have to be reduced. They are rather long and narrow images by the way. When I use Photoshop or other graphics programs I can constrain the proportions. Can I do this in BV ? Or do I have to reduce the proportions before I import to BV ?

Its best (imo) to reduce both size and kb before adding an image in BV.

When I insert an picture that I have from my camera into BV it is huge and there are no handles to make them smaller like other imigaes i have inserted. I have tried jpegs and gifs. when I right click onit and select properties there is no size given or options to resize?

My suggestion is to use the Pix Resizer before you add the pic to BV. You can download this program free from BV support site.

Yes, all images should be resized before inserting oh your blue voda pages (that is if they are larger than you would like to use)

resizing not onoly reduces the physical size but it also reduces the digital size (kbs) of the image, allowing it to load quicker on your page .. it's a good idea to keep all page content (images, etc) to around 200 kbs ... this will allow your page to load quickly for viewers

here is the link to the pix resizer and other goodies offered by voda host

There was one user who said that the height and width dimensions are not needed for SEO. However, whois.domaintools does recommend having height and width dimensions for each image. I'm not sure whether whois.domaintools is right, but it is disturbing to be stuck at around 95%.

There is a workaround, which is to go into the .html after publishing, finding anywhere where ...border = .. style = ... and adding height = and width = based on the style =. The problem is, if you publish the page again you have to do the manual excercise all over again.

Centering & other things.
