A couple of things ...
1) You should always declare a document type and content type, or else the
browser automatically goes into "quirks" mode and you'll have a frustrating mess to
deal with.
Example ...
2) You should not be using <table>s for layout of your page.Code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title>Digital Delites Photography</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#000000">
You should be using <div> sections and CSS for Style Sheet layout.
3) When you say slice the "top image", are you referring to those 3 links at the top?
If so, those 3 words should not be a part of the image. Remove them and actually
place those links there (as real text, not an image).
I realize all of this <div>, CSS, and layout talk is probably a lot to digest at one time,
but you're at a point where you can start-out on the right foot and save a ton of
time later on.
Describe more about step 3 and I can provide a better example.

I hate to double post ...
But I had a few extra minutes to give you an actual working example:
http://www.catpin.com/dd
Notice there are no <tables>
In the <head> section it references a separate CSS file "style.css".
You can view it here:
http://www.catpin.com/dd/style.css
View the HTML source to see the coding.
This makes it simple to add content ... with no regards to messing with
the left or right sections. The navigation is also a separate entity.
You make changes to these files using Notepad or Wordpad and view
online or offline with your browser.
My example is not perfect, but it gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.
Note that when you add pages, they ALL use the same CSS file.
Pretty neat eh?

Step 3
Cut up images to speed loading time......instead of one image, slice into sections then "paste" together using code

Don't bother doing that ....
Your top image is only about 70K ... that's no big deal.
Pay more attention to resizing your photos correctly before you display them.
Don't use HTML to resize your photos.
One other thing about not using <table>s ....
With IE, the table has to fully load before it's displayed. That gives
it an illusion of slow loading. Only use tables for tabular data, not for layouts.
