| (...) I was thinking more like 50KB or less. The current homepage weighs in at 44.2KB, of which 27.7KB of this is images. It's pretty easy to keep small images down to 1 or 2 KB each (or even less) if care is taken. Many of the LUGNET toolbar icons (...)

| (...) Excellent. I just did a homepage image count and found six, including the BrickFest logo. If we were to have button links for a bunch of major sites, this could get heavy fast. That's why I aimed at 100KB - but the lower the better. (...) (...) (21 years ago, 21-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general, FTX)
