# April: Underwire Newsletter

[!(http://www.iworkindustries.com/images/newsletter/underwire-header.gif)](http://www.iworkindustries.com/underwire/)

The html newsletter got a redesign this week. Of course, tweaks and bug fixes are still in progress. But if you’re not a subscriber, here’s what you missed.

It is great to use photos on your website. You want, however, to avoid posting large photos in their original size and using html to resize the image. Large file formats are slow to load and often look crappy when not resized properly.

Instead, you want to:

1. Resize the image using photo editing software to maintain a good, quality image. An original file size of 2 MB can be reduced to 20 KB, which is much smaller and will load faster.

2. Rename the photo using appropriate keywords for search and human recognition.

3. Add an alt tag description of the photo using appropriate keywords.
