A word of advice (plea for sanity) to those making a web-based slideshows, where users navigate images by clicking a "next" or "previous" link. If you can, either fix the height of the images at a standard height/width, or put the link above, rather than below (or to the side of) the image. When moving forward (ie. clicking "next - next - next"), it's annoying to have to hunt for the "next" button on each new page - when the image heights/widths vary (case in point, the excellent photos at nppa.org). This is a small complaint, but is Sooo easily remedied. Better practice here: kottke.org's RNC photos) Additionally, this keeps more of the navgation at the top, and the caption and related metadata below. I know it's a very small thing, but every bit helps.
