horizon picture

Lately I've been learning how to write HTML and how to do simple things, like customize the picture above this blog. I used Jasc Paint Shop Pro to crop part of a photo that I took. I may change it later. I just wanted something pleasant and comforting to be up there. (I bought Paint Shop Pro years and years ago, back in the days when I could afford to just go out and buy software.) I used "progressive encoding," which makes the picture load as a bunch of blurry blocks instead of loading from the top down - just to be different, I guess. And I compressed it a lot, because I use dialup, so I want to make my pages dialup-friendly, so it should be a pretty small file.
