any one good with zip files??

12-11-2003, 12:05 PM

I'm trying to upload a simple comix site through a zip file. I got it loaded to tripod.com but none of the frames show up, do I have to put the pictures with the pages, or do I have to change the file name (their all bitmaps, jpg and gif always makes it looks ugly).

And while I'm here, tripod says it can't show my site to the world because it can't read a index. But my menu page is entitle "index.html". it's obvious that I'm not good at uploading.

Hey that happened to me also. What you should do is don't use tripod (IMO). Try geocities. i found that very is to navagate and use. And remember to stick http://invis.free.anonymizer.com/ (just a proxy not a website) in front of your url address when using geocities. Thats all the help I can give you...

Don't bother, search up aniGIF for conversion.

Get ANYTHING better than Paint. No one is going to wait for a friggin' bmp to load online. They're even slow on DSL.

Just save it as a .png using Paint.

oh good Idea, expect I'd have to do that for all 150+ frames...right?

Well, yeah. Lots of comicers do it. Besides, you seemed willing to convert them to GIF or JPG. Also, don't put down paint. Unless it's an old version that can't save as anything but .BMPs.

If I were you, I'd save it as a .gif or .png once the panel is finished. But since you didn't, I guess you'll have to go through all the panels individually and do it.
