For somebody with "...eight years of professional web development experience..." I would have to question why your screenshots on the website are the sizes they are. Thry vary from half a megabyte to nearly a full meg?

Indeed, this was unfortunate. I can't make excuses, though mistakes do happen.

I resaved the screenshots so their sizes are now lower.

Thanks for taking the time to point this to me.
