bellringr, I was up against the same thing. My website is 'photo intensive' and most of my relatives are on dial-up. Since we are all spread out so far apart, photos are very important to us but I am on cable internet and everything loads for me with lightning speed. I have to remember to make my website useful to the other members of my family. I am not qualified to advise, but I can show/tell you what I did with mine. I divided my pics up into 'Albums'. For example, since I had 100+ photos of my new grandson, I separated them into 'Albums' entitled 'Newborn', 'His First 6 Months', 'His Second 6 Months', 'His First Christmas', and 'His First Birthday'. Using a little inexpensive program called Thumbnailer, (I also have Irfanview that does the same thing for free) I created a limited thumbnail page that references the html pages also created by Thumbnailer for the full-sized images. The thumbnails created by the program are only 2-4kb in size so I was able to create thumbnail pages that are reasonable in size for my dial-up visitors. The thumbnails created are 100x100, large enough for my visitors to decide which pics they'd like to see full-sized. They load very nicely for my dial-up family. Is there some way you can divvy up your vacation pictures like this, thus creating smaller thumbnail pages and yet giving them a good idea of your photos before they move on to the full size images? If you want to see what I've done, go to http://brich.us/blake.html I also have http://brich.us/photogallery.html I do all my own html coding but I'm sure others will have viable recommendations.

4-6 hours is good for me. I'm a morning person so no matter what time I get to bed, I'm wide awake and rarin' to go around 6am. Sleep in? Whassat??? Relax and have a good restful weekend, Laura!

Boy Rob, I had to think about that one for second. Made this old brain work overtime! And you did it straight-faced too! baseball (Dayton Dragons - our local AAA farm team)

I use PopTray. It's free, easy to use, and can check multiple accounts for email. It's has multiple options and rules, can be set to play custom sounds when mail arrives and colored according to mail box. etc etc etc It's worth checking out. poptray.org/

Kasey, I'm leaning towards Traeger Enterprises although I admit it's not very descriptive. It does, however, leave you open to further business development. !!blue's suggestion of Traeger's Web Solutions is good too, but then again it seems a bit restrictive in the event you want to expand into more than just web development. My initial reaction was to endorse The Traeger Group but somehow after mulling it over in my mind it sounds too "corporate America". Of course, what do I know? I'm a Star Trek fan too! Just my 4 cents worth. I'm easy but not cheap.

Hm, at 3:30pm ET it says 4.5 hours left so I am assuming it's 8pm Eastern time?

Nobody's talkin', Thomas. I guess we just have to wait and see. If curiosity doesn't kill me first.....

Thomas, I am getting the 'Page cannot be displayed" page....

Smart girl, our Laura! Hope you had a good one!

Please, blather away. You are a fountain of information! I will continue my education on CSS. I need to visit a bookstore too. I hope any questions I have are not bothersome. I should be ok though. I tend to work away and learn quietly in the background, although absorbing isn't quite as easy as it used to be. Thanks again, Kasey. 'Preciate your knowledge and your willingness to share it here in the Forums.

Welcome, Nathan, and congratulations to Casie and Andrew! Enjoy life together! The next 20 years or so will pass very quickly!
