[QUOTE="TIF, post: 1863243, member: 56859"]I was wondering if that would be a problem. I'm keeping the pictures sizes ~80-150 KB hoping to keep it from bogging down. My ISP is superslow and it loads OK for me but maybe that's due to cache? Debating whether to do that. Torn. I can see that it might be helpful for visitors but I like the way it looks undisturbed by text :) Since I don't have any/many more RRs, those can stay that size. For other categories though, I may have to shrink the 'thumbnails' to improve load time and to minimize the need for scrolling. Right now I'm just loading one picture of each coin into the website database, resizing it for the group shot category page. That is probably bad for load time. If it becomes a problem I will make thumbnail-sized pictures on my computer and load them to the website's database. I haven't looked closely at the pre-fab gallery styles available for use by WiX. Maybe I should do so before continuing in case there is a way to make one of those work for me. Any of them would work, strictly speaking, but there was a certain look I wanted that couldn't be achieved with those prefabs. Not super simple but easy enough. For storage space there's probably no worry since the pictures are all less than 150 KB. Bandwidth though... might exceed that. One thing that will be nice once I've loaded all my coins is the search box. The search box was an add-on and unfortunately entails a small monthly fee. Not sure if that fee is rolled in to an upgraded account. Probably not.[/QUOTE]
