DIY web site design

[Doug Tymofichuk]

This may be a bit off-topic, but here goes anyways;

For a DIY website what is the preferred format? Should 
Schematics/Graphics/Pictures be displayed on the same page 
as the descriptive text to facilitate easy printing and 
saving, or should they be accessed through links, to keep 
the main page loading time down?

I have been spoiled by having a fast connection at work, 
but now that I am using an ordinary modem at home for 
access, I'm realising just how much of a pain in the butt 
all those graphics can be. Any thoughts/preferences?
