some nice pages there.

Can I suggest you have a go a redoing your images? On for example

http://www.thegardenersalmanac.co.uk...d%20Sowing.htm

atypical image size is about 100K and the physical pixel size something
like 760x466 - though on the page they are displayed at a much smaller
pixel size. These unnecessarily large, and mean that that page come sin
at something like 2 MB - Even on Broadband I noticed them taking a
little time to download, someone on dialup would wait for quite while. I
know broadband allows us to be lazy about such things, but there's a
principle :-)

They can be made much smaller - resize the images to the actual pixel
size required on the page, saved with asuitable compression and
probably no more than say 10k or so each

Point taken, thanks for the constructive advice.

I am currently making the Mk2 version of my website, i.e. tweaking here and tweaking there, now I will take your advice on board and have a look at my picture sizes.

Don't expect immediate results, it is now the growing season and I don't spend too much time on my website. I tend to revise it during wet weather and the winter months.
