I would gladly consider adding more features to the Photo Album, if there's
enough interest. I can think of a couple things that could easily be
implemented without making things much more complicated:

1.) The <img alt="..."> text ("hover text"?) could be used to list people's
locations, or some other brief info. Currently I'm using the alt text to
list people's names, which is usually redundant except in the case where the
nickname is listed below the picture and the alt text has the real name (for
example, Warp/Juha Nieminen).

2.) The picture and/or name text could double as a link to that person's
website, where he can put all the info he wants.

Personally, since I've been putting this together, I've really enjoyed
finding out where y'all are from, and I think location information would be
a nice addition. In fact, I think I'll go ahead and add that. Yep, that's
what I'm gonna do.

Comments/suggestions/objections? Especially regarding brief biographical
info. - I think Rune has a good idea here...

BTW, Bob Hughes has a really cool mapping page at
http://users.aol.com/inversez/homepage.htm, and it already shows where all
the action is around the world, no need to duplicate Bob's work.

Regards,
Dave
