October Pics - Lots o' Changes

As several people have pointed out, I am really far behind on posting pictures. One reason why I am so far behind is that I have been trying to find a better way to post the pictures. The method that I have been using is very time consuming requiring me to write most of the code by hand. I have been experimenting with different programs and methods and I think I have a reasonable solution that is at least somewhat easier to manage, as well as giving you more options and functionality.
With the new pictures the number of icons in the thumbnail gallery is dynamic based on the available screen area, so if you are blind and using an obscenely large screen resolution you won't have to scroll left and right to see all of the thumbnails.
When you click on a thumbnail you will be taken to a medium sized picture (usually 800x600) which will load much faster for those of you on dial-up.
To see the other pictures in this size you will be able to use the new next / previous / first / last buttons, instead of having to go back to the index each time.
If you want to see the full size original picture, for printing or downloading, you can click on the mid-sized picture and you will be given a full page view of the original sized picture.
Take a look at the October pictures, and poke around a bit. If you have any suggestions (or praise) please leave a comment here.
Thanks,
Ted
