Cracking images and colours are perfect, but taking for ever to download due to PNG files. Can you compress to JPEG's please and save the bytes
too as Mark and Stephen have just pointed out ??

Thanks though for sharing

Hi guys. You're right! I've compressed to JPEG all my images.
Sorry for the mistake.
