Hi Paul,

It's a very nice page but it loads very slowly. I'm in the Netherlands and
it's 9.30 am. That could be the reason. (ocean, people at work etc. :-)

One remark that's pretty important.
You should always specify the width and height of a picture.
for instance <img src="mypic.gif" width=100 height=50>. By doing this, the
browser reserves the specified space on the page and the text will not
bounce across the screen during the download of the pictures. That way a
long download time is less disturbing, because you can start reading the
text.

I know Frontpage does this automatically. Otherwise you can measure a
picture by moving your mouse above it in PSP. In PS4 you have to push <alt>
(on PC) and mouseclick the measure thing, second display in lower left
corner.

Bye,

-Joop
