Tried checking out the site but it seems to be down.  Just thought I'd give you a heads up

Blush, blush. Thanks girl. I like helping others!!
Julia

Sorry guys I made her a cheap site like mine, free. It only allows 25 hits per hour, you'll have to wait and go back later!!

Now that I've got a chance to finally see the pics it was definitely worth the wait.  very nice.

You must have been fortunate to get through. I still have not been able, says it is down. What a bummer.

It is not the number of hits that counts, it is the bandwidth consumed. It appears your pictures are about 430k/pic. This means to download the page you have to deliver about 3 meg of bytes.
If your download limit is one gig, this means that you will use up your bandwidth allowance in about 300 views. 3 meg will also take about 18 minutes to download the first time you view.

The solution:
Resize your pics to the size they are on the webpage. This can be done with many free photo edit packages. The pictuure will appear to the same and will download much quicker and consume less of your allotment.
I did a test and was able to get a very good pic in about 30k.
If you did this, the page would download in less than 2 minutes and would be available to 12 times as many viewers before you ran out of bandwidth.

Sorry for the long ramble, but I was only able to get 2 pics befire the bandwidth was used up, and I want to see all the pics

Wow is all I can say. I had the fortunate operunity get in last nite early am and boy was it worth the wait. Hope everything works out Jen. Hope to get to meet you.

FYI, at midnight Sunday evening, it was down again.

Hello guys,

While an unlimited account will allow for the downloads not to be blocked, the pictures are still huge and still require a long download. Resize would allow people to see the pictures quickly. Resizing the underlying pictures will not change the visible pictures one bit. This would allow for fast downloads, and you could have kept your free account with no problems.

The visible pictures are 165 x 200 pixels. The files that must be downloaded and then resized by a browser are 1200 X 1600 pixels. You are havine people download 58 times the amount of data necessary to see the pics.

I have over 3 years experince with webdesign.  The picture problem is real easy to fix.  Email me at [email protected] and I'll give you a hand with that.  (no charge)

It was great being able to view some pictures at high res for a change (right click, View Image in Mozilla).  My connection is very fast, so even high res pictures download virtually instantaneously for me.  In order to accommodate users with both fast and slow connections, I suggest you set it up so the user can choose to load the larger version by clicking on the smaller resized versions.
