I use a different approach.  I don't let my site host pictures.  I 
instead have another site with the pictures.  That other site is hosted 
by Earthlink, and has higher bandwidth to the internet than my site has. 
 That also means that when somebody hits the "bountifulbaby.com" site, 
basically the only thing served by my machine is HTML text.  That keeps 
bandwidth usage very minimal for my site.

The Earthlink hosted site is "bountifulbaby.net".  I also have an 
"index.html" file at the root of "bountifulbaby.net" that just redirects 
the user to my "bountifulbaby.com" site, so the user can get to my site 
with either the ".com" or the ".net" address.

So, why do you want your Smalltalk image to contain (and serve) your 
pictures, anyway?  For that matter, why do you want your *site* to serve 
the pictures?  Pictures chew up a lot of bandwidth, and you can offload 
them for $10 to $20 a month, and gain a lot in bandwidth in the process.
