I did that (one big page) on my SpiderWalker page but the images were pretty
small there (320x240). I think what Terry did is a good compromise between
"one big page" and "not too small per page," seeing as some people on the
net still run with only 32MB RAM and 28.8 modems... Having more pages (as
opposed to fewer) also makes it easier to refer to pages/sections by URL,
right?
What would really be neat is if HTML contained meta-stuff so that an author
could organize a document so that the client could choose whether s/he
wanted pages in chunks or all at once. Hopefully when XML becomes
ubiquitous, this sort of thing will be easier...

Hey, how about that. :) And this thread is about as 100% on-topic as it
could possibly be. :)

| (...) Yup. Keep in mind that there is a strong contingent in your readership that doesn't really care for thumbnails. I want to see your page, laid out and designed to present the information to me in a coherent story, not just a grid of thumbnails (...) (26 years ago, 17-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)
