Hi Brian,
you're up early! I'm 150 minutes west of you & contemplating retiring!
Perhaps just one more of Mr Cooper's fine ales while I watch some more
1970's Aussie filmclips on Rage* ;)
As you suggest, the actual URI of an image on the web would be
"http://www.whatever.com/image.jpg";
and your web browser would likely render that as an image on a white
background.
Usually this is 'unattractive' so gallery software can be used to greate
a page with the 'look & feel' of the rest of the gallery, say:
"http://www.whatever.com/image.jpg.html"; that refers to it with an html
tag like "img src=image.jpg" embedded (which would expect to find the
image at the URI above), but display it with the 'style' of the rest of
the gallery.
