Roxanne -
You asked about web space.... and I'm not sure if I can help you or
not........
First and most importantly.... I commend you for wanting to share the
recipes in their original form by scanning the pages and not re-typing them
and taking the chance on making errors! (Kudos... Applause, applause....)
:-)
How many pages in the book, total? You will want to scan the cover and
title pages, too, for a reference for anyone who wants to use the recipes.
Where the printing is English on one page and Danish on the facing page,
you may want the corresponding images to go together on the same page, if
possible (?). If the page measurements in the book aren't too large, you
can scan the entire two pages of the English/Danish versions on one image
that may fit on a letter-sized paper when printed out, and still turn it
"right side up" on a web page and readable even if the lower scroll bar has
to be used. Anyone downloading the page can turn the image to fit on a
letter-sized paper for their printers. Scanning two pages from an open book
so you get the English/Danish corresponding pages will make for half the
amount of images to put on screen, too, and thus more manageable. If you
scan the images at 72 dpi, .jpg format, they won't appear oversized on a web
page.
Does your ISP offer free web space with your email address? Mine has 5 MB
free for personal web sites with each email address, but I can pay $5/month
extra for each additional 5 MB per address, which I've done for one of my
genealogy web sites that's now over 5 MB total (it's a local company, and it
also has anti-spam, anti-viral scanning for all incoming and outgoing email,
plus great tech support from people who live locally). Thus, I don't have
to rely on "free" web space from an online web site provider that places
unwanted ads on the pages, or those annoying popups. Nothing goes on my web
sites I haven't put there, from backgrounds to fonts, images, graphics, and
music. Additionally, I have the option of eliminating smaller web sites,
getting a domain name (there's a yearly fee for domain names, but I don't
remember what it is), and for a monthly fee (think it was quoted as $25/mo)
my ISP will host a web site with my own domain name for me up to 25 MB. A
friend of mine has a cable connection, and his ISP offers 25 MB free
personal web space, and I've heard of other companies that offer 10 MB free
personal web space with each email address, so some ISPs are more generous
than others with free web space (their monthly fees seem to go up
accordingly). Call your Internet service provider to find out what they
offer for web space for personal web sites, see what options are provided,
whether or not you have free space with each email address, or if you have
to get a domain name and let them host the web site for you.
I don't know what your knowledge level is for making web sites. I went
from zero knowledge about how to use any computer (except those at the
library for email), to making and maintaining two web sites, working on a
third genealogy web site, all of this being done between a PC and the iBook
where the genealogy program is, among several other things I do in various
programs, including restoring old photos, making my own graphics, etc. I
transfer the .html web pages my genealogy program makes in the iBook to the
PC with a jump drive, use FrontPage to edit my web pages when needed and
upload them to my ISP. I've now gone through about three different scanners
because I also figured out how to make photos from those old negatives in
odd sizes I inherited, some can be dated to 1940. I, too, have to scan a
recipe book, but it's one my mother had and all in English and not as old as
the one you have.
Good Luck with your project, and when you get it online, let us know what
the link is, please.....
Thank you, again, for wanting to share the old recipes!!! :-) That's very
generous of you!!! :-)
Bev Anderson

P.S. Your reply to Star just came in as I was typing the above.... The
recipes sound yummy! (Oh, but I miss my mother's Scandinavian baking at
holiday time in particular!) Do you have a link to an online translating
dictionary Danish-English? Measurement conversion might be something to
include on the home page of your web site, if not a link to an online
translating dictionary?????

HI Roxanne,
Is there a recipe for Brown cookies in that cook book using cups
instead of Oz for measuring? ( in English ) If so could I be a bother?
