Just go to my main page there's a link right to it.
Uwe suggested using Java to make the credits appear in the bar at the
bottom when the mouse is moved over a link. How do I do that?

I don't know if you'd need Java for that. 
I believe it would also work with the Onmouseover-tag. 

My browser has a tendency to crash on too much coffee...

O, BTW, I went to your site to have a look. The image looks better at
this size.

What's that?

Here's an example from an old webpage of mine:

<A HREF="gfx/eng_3d.htm"
onMouseOver="self.status='A world in 3 dimensions...';return true;"
onMouseOut="self.status='';return true;">
    <IMG SRC = "gfx/boxes.jpg" ALT "Box of Boxes" BORDER=0>
</A>

I'd think it would be a good idea to leave the status bar alone. It's
not as bad as the <BLINK> tag, but some consider it close.

No Java or JavaScript (two entirely different things) needed. Just use
an imagemap. It should work one way or another in most every browser.
It's even in the official 3.2 specs, so it's very safe to use.

Here's a quick example:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Imagemap test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<H1>Imagemap test</H1>

<IMG SRC="colors.png" USEMAP="#basemap">


<P>That was a simple imagemap with one hot area</P>

<MAP NAME="basemap">
<AREA SHAPE=rect HREF="joncruz.html" COORDS="0,0, 100,200" ALT="Jon A.
Cruz">
<AREA SHAPE=rect HREF="someSubDirectory/" COORDS="110,0, 200,200"
ALT="Mystery Artist">
</MAP>


</BODY>
</HTML>

And for more details on what to do, see this link:

  Isn't that java-script?

-- 
main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

I agree! I often take a look at the status bar when the mouse is over the
link to see where the link leads to. If the link is an image for example
(like in your gallery), I like to see if the linked object is a HTML page
that contains the image, or if it is the image directly. That sort of stuff.
And I just hate it if I can't see this information, because the page chooses
to overwrite the statusbar with some own information.
I agree with Jon's other post: Use the ALT-attribute of the link tag for
your information. Then the user will see your information in a small
tool-tip bubble while the mouse pointer rests over the link.

Greetings,
Johannes.

It looks very good.
I only wish that the links were to individual images and
not general sites.
