On questions 1 and 2: I enjoy reading stuff on 
other people's galleries. I like to hear why they 
like the shows, where they got the cels, 
interesting facts about the purchase and 
basically what makes them so crazy about the cel 
in particular. It's all good.

3. I personally don't watermark my cels. I feel 
that it takes away from the image and it really 
isn't worth going through the trouble to do so. I 
also don't hold anything against galleries that 
do. If you are truly worried about people using 
your images for themselves, then do what you 
think is best.

4. I'm with you on this one. I like a relatively 
easy to navigate gallery. If you have a series 
that you collect with over 50 cels, I would also 
break them down by character so that we don't 
have to wait for a page full of images to load. 
On a side not, I use a dial-up modem, and I like 
galleries that load quickly. If you have software 
that can compress images into smaller files 
without reducing the size of the picture, use it. 
I don't like waiting a minute to see one picture 
load sllloooowwwlllly.

5. Don't worry so much about being unique. Your 
collection will speak for you, so your gallery 
just needs to be functional and easy on the eyes
(and on the RAM). Best of luck, and let us know 
when you get up and running.
