My Digital Photos: Opinions Please

Those are nice photos but it loads way too slow to enjoy set up that
way. You need to make reduced thumbnails, not the full 125K images.

If you look at the properties of the minuscule thumbnails on the folder
backgrounds, you'll see they are the original images constrained to that
tiny size by html code. That means for any of the thumbnails to show its
face, the entire original image must be downloaded. That means that on a
page like the "gallery main folder" all 23 images will download before
it's all over, unless the viewer leaves the field.

That means there is faster access from thumbnail to image, since they
are all already in cache; however, if the visitor is on dial-up, s/he
probably won't have stayed around to see ...

It ain't easy, the first time, but with the aid of something like
IrfanView the little tiny thumbnails can be batched into existence and
treated just like any other image, uploaded and linked into place at
their diminutive file size.

Your photographs show a very careful eye. Keep up the good work.
