I agree with Linda - I looked at many sites before making ours, and still it
was several evolutions before it got anywhere near what I liked. I still
have a lot to do, but then it will always be changing. My next project will
be to change to thumbnails, with the ability to click on them for a larger
picture. Thanks for that pointer!
