Very clear, I thought. Very simple and easy to build. Thanks!

I converted them to GIF and put them in their own folder.

A request to everyone- if you are uploading bitmapped images, please
save them in PNG, GIF, or JPG. BMP files are huge, TIF almost as
large. If you need assistance reducing colors or figuring out how to
save in those formats, email me off list.

Or just upload and I'll convert them, I don't really mind as long as
it doesn't become a dozen a day. ;')
