I used the use-your-own-html feature to create the first of two thumbnail pages for my Doris Piserchia cover gallery last night, and I'm pretty happy with it. As you can see, Jim, I treated the page as a blank slate and dumped everything into the "opening html" box. I don't have footers, edit capability, or a navigation bar at the bottom, but for this type of page (non-posting) I didn't really need them. The links at the bottom take you back to digitalmediatree and the DP Site, and I used /editpage at the end of the URL to edit. I created this page on the tree rather than the @home server partly to try out the html feature, but also, frankly, because I would have been up all night creating the same pages and loading them onto @home. Their ftp requires that you log out and log back on for every page or image transferred!
The jpegs are a bit larger, memory-wise, than I'd like--it's always a balance between clarity and speed. That's another reason I didn't want to split the cover gallery between a slide show on one server and thumbnails on another.
Just for future reference, what is "closing html" for? Is that where the navigation bar goes? If I copied the navigation bar from your html, would that incorporate the "invisible to non-members" (or not) aspect?
I'll answer this on the /help page...
