It came free with my service. It was fairly easy to do. I'll get my kids to
"fix" it. I just want to know what you think of it as a start. Any
suggestions?

From my perspective, on dial-up at 28.8 Kbps, your photos (at a
resolution of 2048x1536 and 1.1 MB) are much to large! Apparently
the way your site is constructed the entire image file gets
downloaded when a thumbnail is clicked, even though a browser can
shrink it to fit its window.

I didn't have a problem with the larger files, when I clicked on the
thumbnail
I got a half screen sized photo. Clicking on that photo I then got
the full image file for a really good close up. (I use Firefox and do have
cable)
Dawn is that ash sprinkled on the green pot making those wonderful spots?

I have cable and the pics come up at half screen too. Like I said, my kids
know more about this than I do. I'm working on it though. And, no, that is
not ash. They are little crystals I bought as an experiment. I love them. I
think you can buy them at most supply houses.

give me $500 for a 1/2 days work, I would show up early.

It's common practice to use a paired down image SIZE on the web, and I
don't mean height and width but number of Pixels. Hi quality images
that can be printed without looking pixelly are large in terms of
number of pixels and that creates a slow loading image on the web.
There are many applications that can make a web version of an image.
One easy way is to use whatever app you use to email images to people.
That app probably gives options for quick loading, like low, medium or
high quality. Also Photoshop has a "save for web" option. I'll bet
Photoshop elements has that too. But this process is a "must do" since
there still are many people with dialup and it's torture waiting for
large images to load for those folks...Just to reiterate: you can end
up with 3 images that all are the same size in inches, but are very
different in terms of size relating to pixels.
