Hello again Keith,

With regards to images; they do add value to a site. The trick is to place thumbnails (smaller, but recognisable images) on the pages themselves, hopefully not slowing down the page significantly, and link to a larger version of the same image - to open in a new browser window. This other window can be left unadorned, with just the image showing, or you can create pages for the full images that reflect the sites look & feel, perhaps with a Close This Window button/hyperlink.

Most image editors will allow you to Save for the web, which will optimise the image reducing the file size - both for the thumbnail and the larger image. I might add that the large image should be optimised to fit the width of your target audiences mean screen resolution (currently accepted as 800x600, though 1024x768 is gaining ground rapidly).

Nothing is a problem for me...
