Lamar, the reason that picture is so slow is because it's a huge picture (504 x 360) that you are scaling down (235 x 185) in HTML. Thus, it's about 195kb. When you scale stuff in HTML, the actual size of the image doesn't change. In other words, you're not "changing" the image to be 235 x 185, you're merely telling the web browser to make it appear with those physical dimensions. It still stays at 195kb which is way too big. You need to physically change the image in an editor like Photoshop. I went ahead and changed this one, and emailed it to you. It came down to 16kb from 195kb. Should load much much faster for you. -MrB

Geez Lamar... The test said you weren't allowed to take it a second time because you'd remember the questions... Anyway, I know you don't have a spell checker but the following post you sent is making me crazy... Eye halve a spelling chequer It came with my pea sea It plainly marques four my revue Miss steaks eye kin knot sea. Eye strike a key and type a word And weight four it two say Weather eye am wrong oar write It shows me strait a weigh. As soon as a mist ache is maid It nose bee fore two long And eye can put the error rite Its rarely ever wrong. Eye have run this poem threw it I am shore your pleased two no Its letter perfect in it's weigh My chequer tolled me sew. PS...Lamar didn't really sent this post... PPS...but he could have...grin
