Tom-
Nice site.
A few nits to pick, though. If there are no more images after clicking
on "next", I see a "&nb..." piece of text, and not a button.
Also, Once I've seen all the images in one heading, there's no "go up a
level" button to see the list of headings (other than the images button
on the top).
Even with that said, your images and web site are still better than mine.
