 I'll see what I can do :)  I put the filmstrip bits there because I thought they'd 
look interesting (they're just static gif files so the numbers don't signify 
anything).  It took a sh*tload of work in Photoshop to generate one for each 
film type, in each format, and portrait/landscape orientation.  And I've only 
done the slide films I use so far :)  Before I do more of them I'll fiddle with the 
layout a bit.  I'll save myself lots of work (while having wasted lots more) if I get 
rid of them.

 Sort-of.

 I'm working on keeping all the picture info in a database which reads a 
relatively-intelligent scripted HTML file and spits out the page with all the info 
on it, including a link to the image file.  In this case I decided to use static 
pages to save pasting massive URLs together.

 So I stuffed all the relevant details into my development/test database, then did 
a lookup, clicked "view page souce" on the result, pasted the whole lot into a 
new file and hand-massaged it to remove a few irrelevant bits and make it all 
work from a single directory.  It sounds like lots of work but hand-writing the 
pages from scratch would have taken longer.

Cheers,
