I looked at your web site
http://hometown.aol.com/wa2tuff/main.html and it takes a long time to load. A person with dialup might wait for the first image to load.
471kb is large for a picture that is 300 pixels x 226 pixels. The pictures could easily be reduced to less than 25kb file size without losing any picture quality. The web page would load about 19 times faster.
Here is a link to one of the pictures that the web page uses:
http://hometown.aol.com/wa2tuff//images/im000224.jpg
The picture is 1632 x 1232 pixels. HTML code was used to make the picture smaller on the web site but the file size is still 471kb large. Instead of using html to resize the picture they could use software to resize the photo to 300 x 226 pixels size. I used my photo editing program (IrfanVeiw) to resize the photo to 300 x 226 pixels and the file size went from 471kb to 24.9kb with better picture quality.
This is the HTML code that was used to resize the first car picture:
<a HREF=/wa2tuff/pic1.html><img src="/wa2tuff/images/im000224.jpg" border=0 width=300 height=226>
