A Word About Mini-Browser Usage
|
Following are tips for viewing our pages from a cell phone or other mini-browser.
- Most pages may be viewed with display of pictures enabled; however, browsing speed will be greatly improved with picture display turned off.
- Viewing Photo Galleries works but is not recommended due to page size and picture clarity.
- Picture click-through may not work on some mini-browsers.
- Mini-browsing works best during less busy times of day.
- We use a PalmOne Treo 600 for testing; smaller browsers have not been tested but should work for most pages.
- Our pages no longer utilize frames.
- Individual pictures are normally restricted to less than 40KB in size.
- While most of our prose pages are less than 100KB including pictures, a few -- especially Photo Galleries -- may be larger than a megabyte when loaded.
