I told him he kinda looked like a parakeet....there was instant beer ejection from a lot of nostrils... the truth will out! often through the nose. <vbg> i completely understand about the web work. an extra 2 to 8 hours free time is very hard to find. i'd offer to do it for you but i'm afraid that would be a snub or at least a de-motivator to yer web dude. just tell him that it was mentioned by a visitor again after you put the page online. another thing you could do, which you'd have to do anyway, is write the caption texts for all the photos and email them to him so he can copy and paste them in. keep them brief - 25 werds at the maximum. there are 40 photos. it wouldn't take him over 40 minutes to paste in the alt text captions if you wrote and sent him the texts. (spellcheck them before sending) how does he get the photos? do you email them to him? or do you put them in one of your photo galleries for him to grab off the web? in the future, if you put them on pbase for him, he could just grab the thumbnail and "medium" size (for the larger version). you could also write captions on pbase that he could grab and stick in the alt text tag. that might save a lot of work for you both unless you're already doing it that way. the pbase system sizes and optimizes the photos automatically. most of the ones on the later completed projects are really too big - not just for viewing on screen but in waiting time for anyone with less than a broadband connection. -dust
