I’m pretty sure you’re incorrect about user connection speeds. In December 2006, statistics showed 78% of US users were on a broadband connection. Something like 55% in the UK… and very high in asia.

Heck, my grandmother has a broadband connection.

Are you still on dial-up? Yikes.

Yeah… most photo blogs are hard to follow – i guess you can say including this one, but thought I’d share what a little tweaking can have wordpress doing for the photo story teller.

Definitely not for everyone.

I basically decided to upload rather high quality images so the load time can be long if there are more than a handful of images. This is completely user defineable… I could easily post smaller versions compressed a tad more for almost instant load and then have user click on image to view a higher resolution.

But to add to that, I had a script that pre-loads the images and doesn’t display them until all of the gallery images are loaded. Unfortunately, the loading gif (which basically says yes images are loading) wasn’t showing up.

To keep things simple, I eliminted the pre-load script so images start showing up right away.
