Thanks for coming here. I want to share the pictures of Raven with all of my family because I am excited and proud and ready to brag about her at the drop of a hat. However, if you stop visiting the web site because you are still on dialup and it takes forever for the pictures to load, then bragging becomes impossible since you haven't seen the pictures. See my dilemma? So, to improve my chances for bragging about Raven, consider having her whole web site downloaded to your computer. You can view it anytime, instantly. A page with 20 pictures loads in 2 seconds! I bet if you could look at her website without ANY delays, you would look more often. Am I right?

To add the Web page you are currently viewing to your Favorites list and then make it available for offline viewing, follow these steps in Internet Explorer: (you should do these steps from the main page)

1. On the Favorites menu, click Add To Favorites.
2. Click the Make Available Offline check box to select it, and then click OK.

To make an existing favorite Web page available for offline viewing, follow these steps in Internet Explorer:

1. On the Favorites menu, click Organize Favorites.
2. Click the Web page you want to make available offline.
3. Click the Make Available Offline check box to select it, and then click Close.

If you are on Windows XP -- here is some more detailed info for you. I found this article by typing "make available offline" in Google. The original web address is included.

Make Web Pages Available for Offline Viewing on XP

With Internet Explorer 6 in Windows XP, you can make a Web page available offline and view it when your computer is not connected to the Internet-for example on your laptop during a flight. This feature is also handy for viewing Web pages at home without tying up a phone line if you have a dial-up Internet connection.

To make the current Web page available offline

1.	On the Favorites menu, click Add to Favorites.
2.	Select the Make available offline check box.
3.	To specify a schedule for updating that page, and how much content to download, click Customize.
4.	Follow the instructions on your screen.

To make an existing favorite item available offline

1.	On the Favorites menu, click Organize Favorites.
2.	Click the page you want to make available offline.
3.	Select the Make available offline check box.
4.	To specify a schedule for updating that page, and how much content to download, click Properties.

To view Web pages without being connected to the Internet

After you mark your favorite pages for viewing offline, you can view them offline by following these steps

1.	Before you disconnect from the Internet, on the Tools menu, click Synchronize.
2.	When you're ready to work offline, on the File menu, click Work Offline. Internet Explorer will always start in Offline mode until you click Work Offline again to clear the check mark.
3.	In your Favorites list, click the item you want to view.

You can also make Web pages available offline without adding them to your Favorites list, by saving the pages on your computer.

Follow these steps

On the File menu, click Save As.

Double-click the folder you want to save the page in.

In the File name box, type a name for the page.

In the Save as type box, select a file type.

Do one of the following:

.	To save all of the files needed to display this page, including graphics, frames, and style sheets, click Web Page, complete. This option saves each file in its original format.
.	To save all of the information needed to display this page in a single MIME-encoded file, click Web Archive. This option saves a snapshot of the current Web page. This option is available only if you have installed Outlook Express 5 or later. When you choose Web Page, complete, only the current page is saved. With Web Page, complete and Web Archive, you can view all of the Web page offline, without adding the page to your Favorites list and marking it for offline viewing.
.	To save just the current HTML page, click Web Page, HTML only. This option saves the information on the Web page, but it does not save the graphics, sounds, or other files.
.	To save just the text from the current Web page, click Text Only. This option saves the information on the Web page in straight text format.

In an effort to help you get the most out of your "browsing" experience on this site, let me instruct you on a couple of other points...

For those of you on dial up, consider these hints;

In the Menu item (within your browser) TOOLS, select the INTERNET OPTIONS item.

Across the top there are several tabs, the first of which is GENERAL. About half way down the dialog box is a button (Windows 2000 users) marked SETTINGS in the Temporary Internet Files section.

Change "Check for newer version of stored pages" to Automatically.

Increase the amount of disk space allowed to be used to house these files to something over 40 meg. The pictures I have placed on the web site are at least 100 meg

Next, move to the section marked "History" and

Increase the number of days to keep pages in History to 99.

Next, select the tab marked ADVANCED and scroll down the list and locate/change this item:

Make sure that "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed" is UNCHECKED, since checking it will automatically remove all the pictures you spent so much time downloading.
