Thanks for the response, Nancy.  I really appreciate it.  But I have to ask
- are you sure about the 75k?



Gee... I dunno... I always thought that because a couple of webtv users told me that's what it was. LOL  It's entirely possible that you are correct, and I am wrong.

I do know that folks with cable modems tend to create pages that are very large and complex because *they* can view them effortlessly, but I have my pages tested by nice folks using various connections, screen widths, browsers, PCs and Macs, and webtv, just to make sure they open easily and quickly. A 150K page can take awhile on a dial up modem. I stick with 50K - yeah it makes for more pages, but no one has to wait longer than 45 seconds to view anything on my site, and I don't crash anyone.

I guess it comes down to what you want to achieve. If your primary consideration is achieve a certain "look" for page,  then you may have to take the risk that some folks won't be able to view it in return for those who can being dazzled by it. If content is more important, then the challenge is to find ways to make it attractive while still keeping it simple. Either way, WE have fun. LOL
