It would be bad to put each image on a seperate web page. Right now I depend on
printed parts catalogs, and having all the images on one page allows me to
print them out quickly. If the parts were each on their own page it would make
the site almost useless as a catalog.

OK.  I agree with you.  The idea behind my site was to help people who are
trying to locate hard-to-describe pieces, and need to visually browse
through the catalog.

Even if you aren't printing, think how much work it would be to
click-click-click through all the images on the site.

Again, I agree.  I was just brainstorming ideas on how to reduce the impact
of having a few (40 to 50) pages with a large amount of graphic data on
each page.

Of course, I'm not opposed to adding additional pages so that people can access
the data in different ways. Just make sure you don't eliminate the format we
have now.

I promise, I won't eliminate anything.  I *might* reorganize and balance
some of the categories at some point. But right now the category
information is pulled automatically from the LDraw part files, so changing
any of that represents real work. Which I need to avoid too much of. ;)

Speaking of which, my site is several updates out-of-date.  I need to go
upload an update.
