A friend of mine (who is stuck with dial-up) complained about the loading times of some of my pages. I already knew they were getting too large and have been looking at other ways of displaying my collection. I have been looking at different software packages to make the job easier for me, and now think that I have the right program for the job. As a test, I put over 400 images into a folder and told the software to do its work. The resulting pages are here. at the moment these images are not categorised, nor do they have descriptions, but this will alter as soon as I get the time. If anyone wants to comment on the effectiveness of these pages, please feel free to email me glen@city-of-manchester.com
