Hi Noel,

Thanks for the nice words. As for the thumbnail size, I had no idea that 
I could control that on Photo.Net! I just upload the JPG files, sized at 
around 80-150 KB for the most part, and Photo.Net creates the thumbnails 
automatically. I guess I will have to poke around the site and see where 
I can make the thumbnails smaller.

On the other hand, I do like the thumbnails fairly large so that the 
viewer can decide which ones s/he wants to click on. As I said to Steve, 
what I will likely do is to split the London gallery into two.
