Hello Sam

You did not ask about this, but since I noticed it (and since Norman did
such a good job of answering your actual question), I thought I'd point
at your code and make rude, disparaging noises, in the hopes of being
marginally useful.

You have your image divs nested to, let's see,... oh about 20 levels
deep, inside a table.

<div class="binContent">
<table class="xAboutTable">
<tr>
<td>
<div class="xBio">
<div class="userPhoto">
<div class="userPhotoLarge">
<div class="image50_" id="_ctl0_UserPhoto">
<div class="image">
<div class="imageOuter">
<div class="imageOuterFrame">
<div class="imageFrame">
<div class="imageLeft">
<div class="imageRight">
<div class="imageTop">
<div class="imageBottom">
<div class="imageLeftTop">
<div class="imageLeftBottom">
<div class="imageRightTop">
<div class="imageRightBottom">
<div class="imageInner">
<div class="imageInmost">
<img galleryimg="no" />
<div class="imageInnerContent"
id="_ctl0_UserPhoto_ic">
</div>

Not exactly semantic markup. :-0

I gather this is all because Zenfolio.com is hosting your photos. It
doesn't seem that that should require your page (and CSS) to be so
insane. The page is XHMTL 1.0, strict, but doesn't validate. It requires
Javascript for navigation and to see the photos. The pages are
sluggish. I hope when you get your Web site developed as you asked
about, you won't use the bizarre crud from Zenfolio.

Your photos, on the other hand (when I can see them), are real fine. I
wish you luck with the new site & business.
