Re: loading jpg's

I only looked at one of the pictures - but it's enormous.
The one I checked was 1352 x 1084, which is much too big.
Your HTML has directed the browser to show it at 78 x 63 but the browser
still has to download the original size.
Change the picture itself down to 78 x 63 and you'll solve the slow loading
problem
