Hi,
Irritated is far too strong: forgive me, I let my mouth run away. It is your site and you must do as you want your site to appear. What I was saying about image size and optimisation: if you optimise down to say 20 kb or so the image will cover the same size on the page. It is just that an optimised jpeg has far less info to download so you page downloads quicker. You optimise so the image looks just as good on your screen as the 99kb image. In image optimising software (I use photoshop but I believe there is a free program many bluevoda use called pix resizer (I think) you can do all this quite easily. Have a look at the product images on my site: they are all between 20kb and 33kb in size and could be smaller, but the pages are small (in kb) so I just have not needed to go smaller because the pages load quickly anyway.Your home page is over 500kb in size and for me I would get uneasy about that: Have just looked at your home page again and the picture is not pixillated any more so well done, that is sorted but at a tad under 100kb for the image what I said about optimisation still stands. Also, the image near the top of the farseer crew page needs sorting.
Hope it all continues to go as well as it is at the moment.

Regards,
James.
