Organize your gallery into logical breakpoints By subject, by season, by city, whatever makes sense for your work. Optimization: Make your images fast to load. It is a real science to balance fast load time and image quality, but practice will get you comfortable with it. gif vs jpg Use the "jpg" format instead of "gif" for pictures. Gif images don't handle gradation well, and you get loss of quality pretty quickly. 72 ppi is sufficient (that is screen resolution, so any higher resolution will only make your file slower to load, it will not increase the quality at all) 432 pixels along the longest edge for large image 100 pixels along the longest edge for buttons save your jpg at the lowest level that still gives a decent quality for the web (level 2 or 3 if possible) save your gif down to the least amount of colors possible to still give decent quality (8 colors if possible)
