HOW TO SUBMIT A:
Submit a WRITTEN DEDICATION:
1. Simply write the message -- whatever it may be --
in the text box at the bottom of the form titled "Place
Your Dedication in the Box Below". You can also copy
and paste your message from another source into this box.
2. Place whatever message you want, be it the words to
a song, a poem, a story or any special, loving thoughts
you'd like to share.
3. When you have completed filling in the form, simply
hit submit. Your message will appear once it has gone
through the approval system.
4. REASONS YOUR MESSAGE MAY NOT APPEAR: if the content
of the message is inappropriate, it will not be approved
and will not show on the Web site.
Submit a PHOTOGRAPH:
1. IMAGE FORMAT: Only images ending in '.gif'
or '.jpg' can be uploaded.
Please convert your image to a JPEG or GIF FORMAT before
uploading it.
(Simply changing the file extension won't work. The image
file itself must be converted. Recommendation: GIF or JPEG
in RGB mode at 72 DPI. If you don't knowhow to do this,
go to Tools to help change the format
of your images to .jpg or.gif.
2. IMAGE SIZE: image must be 35k in size or smaller.
By changing the image from the standard 300dpi (dots
per inch) to the recommended 72dpi for the worldwide web,
the image will decrease in size and parameters more appropriate
for the internet. When you scan a photograph, 300dpi is
the standard default setting.
A 300dpi image usually saves at about 4"w x 5"h
and up to 10"w x 12"h. This is larger than your
computer screen. By adjusting the image to 72dpi, the
size will be decreased by 75% and should only lose a slight
amount of quality.
If you keep the image at 300dpi and try to save it as
a smaller dpi size, it WILL lose a considerable amount of
quality.
