In fact, it is less than 2 MB. And that isn't huge for me, since I have

DSL.
But I realize that many don't, which is why the pictures are all less than

200
KB.


I guess this is a potato/potahto thing. To me web pages should not be
weighed in MB's.

If you have a page that is 3MB, you have either way too much content on

one
page, or your pictures are way to big for the web.


Not.


I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, eh? LOL. I too have DSL. It's not
nearly as fast my cable modem, but it is faster then the dial-ups many of my
friends and family use, so I try to code to that denominator.

BV.

I just upgraded my dsl to 3.0 Mb/sec, which is I guess as fast as dsl can get.
I also reduced the resolution on the pictures so that the file sizes are smaller
and load faster. Unfortunately, in doing this, I apparently exceeded my
bandwidth AGAIN. I'll have to talk to my ISP because I have another web site
(an inactive one) that is much larger than this one page, and it never exceeded
my bandwidth, especially while editing a web page. It was my understanding that
with the faster dsl service, my personal web page bandwidth would also go up.
Perhaps they haven't changed that yet.
