Hi, Kim!! Welcome to GG&J! Great place to ask questions and get real answers. Your sites look great, but naturally, we all have constructive comments to make.

One thing I can recommend is to go with a custom text recip table for a more polished, tailored look. You can easily do 15-16 or even 20 recips and have it look sharp. As to the number of pics in a freesite gallery, I usually do 12 in 2 galleries. Most of the LLs will kick at that third gallery, and some love it. You can do a mirror where you drop the third gallery. I would also pull your nav links at the bottom of the pages. The surfers will use their back keys, and this gives you another chance to show off your ads.

Pics opening on html pages went out over 5 years ago due to abuse by a few. Once you gain trusted status you can do it. The site I looked at - Black Cougars (the first site) appeared to have pictures from several different series together. Find 12 great shots from one series and put them in logical order -- so that they tell a story.

I will take pics opening on HTML pages, especially done tastefully as you have. While I would not reject any of the sites I have seen, I will strongly encourage you to put the pics in order. I don't do minimum/maximum per page as that is up to you.

One last hint.. save time on Saturdays to listen to On The Bench. If you sign up for the newsletter, you will also get some great hints and ideas. I do like what I see!
