Can
you help? I cannot find the reference for the "she threw her son's head"
story, though I know it is true. Please email
me. Thanks.
HOW TO USE:
(1)- Right-click on an
image or animation. Choose SAVE AS and download to your harddrive. From
there, you can paste into your web page. For email use, you probably cannot
paste directly into the email. Instead, click INSERT | IMAGE, and your
email program will give you a BROWSE option to find the animation file,
which you then insert into your email.
(2)- Some images and
animations are "personalized", i.e., a community name is included. You
will need to edit the image to show your community name. Some help
with this is offered below. Or you can email
me- I will help as time permits.
(3)- Some images and
animations tell part of a story, and the viewer is invited to click for
the complete story. You will need to create a page with the rest of the
story, and link the image to that page. Be creative! Research the story
and write it. If you don't know how to put it on the web, see
below.
(4)- It is not required,
but I would be grateful if you would notify me of the URL where you have
put the animation or image. Thanks.
Images
If
you have a suggestion for an animation, or if you would like to learn how
to
create
images or animations, please email
me. If you are asking to learn how
to
do it, you must be serious about it- and you must be intending to
use this
skill
to create Baha'i animations or images in the very near future.
Otherwise,
please do not waste my time.
Group A. These images require creativity on your part, i.e., you will need to research and write info and upload to a linked webpage.

recent), and Central Figures of the Faith.

I can help. For example, the El Paso Egg animation at the top can be changed
to insert your
community's name instead. I'll be glad to do things like this as time permits.
Just email me.
Meanwhile,
keeping in mind that the ONLY content which Users are permitted to
change (or add) is the name of
a community in an image, you might like to know how to change the community
name in an image
(or insert a community name in an image) yourself.
Static images are all created in MSPaint. This is the little program that
may be in your Microsoft
Accessories box that may be now showing at the bottom of the screen. Simply
right-click the image you
want, click SAVE AS, and save it to someplace on your system. To edit the
image, DO NOT then
try to open it as a file in the usual way, because this will open MSPhoto
Editor. Instead, open your
MS Paint program; click FILE | OPEN, then locate and open the image you
downloaded. It is
recommended that you create a copy of the file first as backup so you don't
have to come back here
for it if you don't like your work.
Animations are done in 2 steps. The static image for each frame is done
in MSPaint. These are
then loaded into JASC PaintShopPro Animation. If you have JASC, you probably
have its Animation
Shop too. But if you've never used it, it's a little tricky to find. Open
JASC, and click:
Once you get that going, then FILE | OPEN, and locate and open the animation
you got from
this page. You can actually change the community name while in there (look
at the toolbars), since
JASC has its own "paint" program. Or, you could SAVE (as bitmaps) or COPY
the frames you need
to change, exit JASC, and work on the frames using MSPaint. Then re-insert
them into the animation.
TIP: When creating an animation from scratch with JASC Animation, start with the command
If you do not have JASC Animation, you may have some other animation program.
Do a
search of your system like this: In the lower left corner of your screen
right now, click
If you really need me to send you the individual frames of any animation
in MSPaint,
I'll be glad to do so, as time permits. Just email
me. Later, I may actually post all of the frames on a
webpage.
Here's how. At upper left of your screen, click FILE | SAVE AS. Then choose
a location on
your harddrive to put this page (you may want to write it down). Then,
when you're offline, go to the
file and double-click it. It should then open to look just like this page.
I do recommend this because
you never know- I may have to move this site sometime. If you do download
it, still check back here
to see if there's fresh content. Then you can download again and replace
the old file. And ALWAYS
keep me updated on your current email address- it is a condition of use.
I will NOT share your email
address with others outside the context of this animations project, unless
requested by a Baha'i
institution to do so.
WHY DO I WANT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS? First of all, your use of these animations
is
free, and it is my right to impose conditions on that use. Having your
current email address is such
a condition. Important practical reasons for this include:
1. Notifying you of new animations
2. In the unlikely event that some image or animation is found to be not
in the best
interests of the Baha'i Faith in some locality, I want to be able to simply
load an
address folder with a note to let you know, instead of an Institution of
the faith
having to announce it and try to find everyone who's using it. Things happen,
huh?
After all, what's good in Beijing might not play well in Podunk.
I've built a very friendly tutorial to help you. It features building with
Netscape Communicator, but
the basic principles can easily be applied to Internet Explorer, Front
Page, etc. It's an actual webpage with
step-by-step instructions for how to edit it (make changes to it), and
how to open a brand new page. It also
includes instructions for how to upload your webpages onto the World Wide
Web. And how to register a
domain name (for about $15 per year or less), and how to get site-hosting
for your domain name done at
no cost other than what you are already paying your internet provider.
I'll send it to you. "Playground".
You'll like it. Click
here. You MUST include your name and Baha'i I.D. number.
