I'm currently trying out new picture sizes for the picture threads on websites. As I can see on the visitor statistics that users have increasingly larger screen resolutions available, the EssentialContent.com websites should make use of this increased screen area to bring larger and more detailed pictures. So far I've used the 600x400 pixel size for landscape pictures and 333x500 pixel for portrait pictures. The webpage about
The Berlin TV Tower I made today features new picture dimensions - 800x533 pixel for landscape pictures and 467x700 pixel for portrait pictures. I've looked at it and it looks fine on a 1280x1024 screen, but it's a bit much on a 1280x800 laptop screen, I will probably still have to keep at least the portrait size somewhat smaller. As I renew the pictures on the different websites that are up to 10 years old by now, I will be using larger picture sizes as well, but the final choice in sizes are still not made.

The latest research trip went to Prague, Austerlitz, Bratislava and Vienna.

EssentialContent.com is preparing the website www.visitingprague.info to be included in the travel destination website portfolio and needed pictures of this beautiful town. A 3 night stay resulted in some excellent photos of which some of the best will find their way to the website.

After Prague the trip went on to Austerlitz, or today a few kilometers Southeast of Brno in the Czech Republic. This is the location where Napoleon on December 2. 1805 beat the vastly superior sized Russian and Austrian army and established Napoleon and France as the strongest power in Europe. The pictures of the battleground and the Mohyla Miru or Mound of Peace on Prace Hill will be added to the website www.picturingeurope.com - a future trip that passes Waterloo in Belgium will add pictures of the Waterloo battlefield to the Napoleon theme.

On the way to Vienna, the trip passed Bratislava in Slovakia, where a quick stop was made to get pictures of the Bratislava Castle and close surroundings for the www.visitingbratislava.info website.

The next few days were spent in Vienna getting pictures for several different websites, including www.europeanvacationitineraries.com and the Eastern Europe itinerary.

All in all the trip was very productive and increased the EssentialContent.com picture library considerably. Expect the find the pictures on our websites in the near future.
