How do I make collection images bigger on my website? I use Shopify eCommerce. Individual images are good. they appear big and resolution is decent as well. however in category pages images are a bit smaller.
I'm not really good at HTML. but I'm trying to figure it out for days now.
You can use element inspector in browser to find images and their classes on collection page. And when you will find out the needed classes, you can update css styles for it to make images bigger. If you provide us with a link to your store, I will give you more precise guideline.

This is probably going to seem like a stupid question and I've probably glossed over something and missed the answer but is it possible to have one link which will lead to multiple images or an image directory?
I am making a website for a restaurant and ideally I would like a textual link for the menus (each of which are comprised off 3+ images).
Initially I created a separate page for each menu with an image gallery in it and the link pointing to the respective page but due to the restrictions off needing a user input event to make the gallery full screen I decided against using this idea.
I am currently using I frames for the menus but they don't fit in as nice as I would like with the design off the website and I am running into issues with them going full screen on iOS mobile.
I am attempting to create a website that will host my art, blogs, articles, and other media. I want the art (for the art) and the thumbnail (for the articles, etc.) to show at their relative shape. I can do that part by simply linking the images to a new page (either the art piece or the article).
What I am having trouble with, however, is fitting each inequilateral shape together relative to their size and where they are inserted on the main page of my HTML file. The included link is a website that I'll use as an example, and a picture is included for those on phones.

If I understand what you're going for, you can use Masonry.js for that.

I have been working hard on assembling photos into a travel blog. Currently I am reading about how to make full page image carousels. The specific problem I have is this: I want to have an image carousel of 100 pictures. At different points in the blog I want the user to be able to enter the same carousel at different images in the sequence. Currently I have to duplicate the code for the 100 images at each point in the blog. I am trying to figure out how to refer to the same html from different parts of the web page. Here is an example:
https://bwanaaa.github.io/flicktest/
The first image is a full bleed cover. The next two galleries are the same gallery but different starting points. I had to list all 10 images in the html TWICE to achieve this. You can imagine how verbose the html gets if i have 50 images with 10 entry points.
Here is a codepen to experiment with:

Is there a way to have a 'subroutine' in html?
This can't be resolved through HTML alone. You'll have to implement further JS functionality, or find a different plugin.
Here is a plugin that is closer to what you're looking for:
https://github.com/stylehatch/photoset-grid
Demo:
http://stylehatch.github.io/photoset-grid/
it makes a grid of photos, then you also add the lightbox functionality, whatever photo they click on, it will go to that photo in the photoset, and also have navigation icons comparable to a carousel.
I need a full-width image with labeled sections to link to individual pages. Any suggestions how to make this happen? The web site is built on WordPress, so if a plug-in will accomplish this that will work too. Method needs to be responsive and not break apart as viewport is reduced.
For example, Section 1 needs to link to the Section 1 page, etc.
See image at
Well, if you want to have something like that and responsive, you should cut the image in as many pieces as items you need, create an element for each piece and set the image as background. There rest is mediaqueries, maybe you can do it with bootstrap.
Also, try to go to the design community, as this is more related to design than anything else, and I don't think a Wordpress plugin exists for this.
Assuming there is no og:image or link rel img_source, does anyone have any real-world experience or advice on better-than-random techniques to choose an image that best represents a web page?
Update: All answers are good, so upvoted them all and selected one, although it seems there is no great way of doing this. I will experiment with largest picture and screenshot of what it would like on a low-res client. Thanks all!
PS: I'm finding that quite a few pages seem to have og:image or link rel img_source anyway. More than I expected
Taking a screenshot of the website in its smallest possible form, how it would look on a notebook laptop or even a mobile (but not the mobile site version), would be a non-random approach.
Most good web designers will try to make sure users are able to see what the page is about immediately upon loading and include the most important and relevant information 'above the fold' as they say.
Choose the logo of your page as the og:image. That way your brand becomes associated with all your posts, without having to worry about what image best defines each individual page.
For other pages, you cannot control what image they have.
You could investigate how sharer.php works but other than that there is no silver bullet as to choose which image for a web page that has no definable image.
I don't have any experience with Facebook opengraph, but one trick I've used before is to grab favicons of sites I've linked to and use them as link button icons... They're small and are usually always associated with the company name and/or logo, and they're pretty universal across most professional websites. And the usually univeral filename favicon.ico makes it really easy to pick out of the html (or the link attributes if they change the filename).
Might give that a shot if that could be adapted into what you are trying to do. If you find that doesn't look too good, you can try a more "web 2.0" take and check for iPhone/iPad button apple-touch-icon png images (probably only find them on big name sites though)http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/ConfiguringWebApplications/ConfiguringWebApplications.html
I would normally suggest that you simply scrape the page of img tags. However, these days, CSS background images are frequently applied to h1/header/div/a/etc. tags to display logos in place of text.
One possible solution is to grab all elements with 'logo' in their ID/class name:
var l = $('[id*="logo"],[id*="Logo"],[class*="logo"],[class*="Logo"]');
If this is/contains an img tag, chances are you have the site's logo. Otherwise, if it's a div or other such container, you'll need to dig into the child elements' CSS properties to see if they have a background image.
From this you can build a set of candidate images, which when combined with a heuristic based on (for example) image dimensions, should hopefully spit out a logo every time.
I hope this helps you on your way!
Going for the logo is usually the wrong way. Seeing it from a user of your website's point of view I would rather want no image than a logo all the time. This is the same as in Google+ or Facebook links. Only show images when it really does make sense.
However finding the corresponding image may not always be trivial if there is no og:image or rel="image_source" provided.
An article usually has a title which is presented as <h1> or <h2> tag. The nearest image may be the right one. However the nearest may also be a logo so this can go wrong.
I would do that very pragmatic. I would fetch the most likely image first and read the given EXIF data, if this is a real image there are informations provided. If this is just a logo, spacer or some other kind of layout graphic it does not have EXIF data and therefore is not relevant. If the first picture is not the right tough, I would fetch the next one and so on.
Another clue may be the HTML5 <article> tag which usually has the corresponding image to the post nested.
Nevertheless there are several web designer not using standards and their webpage may not be parable nicely.
