How did you find the time to insert all of those tags?

[Jordan]

Sam , you should use some sort of flash preloading on your website.... unless the thing is cached it runs like crap.

Nice pics, Good fishin' in that Magallaoway river.

Jordan, you must have a slow computer or poor connection. The entire flash portion of the site is only 1mb. I do realize that there are still some connections out there that are too slow to download it quickly enough, but they are not the target audience.

Max - to get all those tags inserted was really easy and only took a minute. First i just copied and pasted the filenames from the image directory into a textwrangler document. Then i used find and replace to add the tags and file path on the server to every instance of "crw". I did the same with ".jpg" at the end of the filename. Copied and pasted into the thread and that was it.

I was on a brand new computer and business-class cable connection. It's a bit presumptuous to just say "it's not my target audience" when people aren't on corporate oc12 lines so you don't have to follow best practices.

We have a pretty overloaded t1 connection here that caps out at 1.5m and is split between over 50 people in an internet company. It is slightly sluggish but the playback is acceptable. I can't imagine anyone's connection being much slower in the corporate world.

I find it presumptuous to assume that someone wants to wait through a preloader before looking at a portfolio site.

It's not presumptuous, its why they exist....anyway, it was just a suggestion.

It loads slowly for me too and I am plotting my revenge on the world.

It loads slowly for me but it gives me time to enjoy, I just don't like the clean up time.
