Hi Seth,

In my idea is one of the most difficult things on a webpage is creating
dynamicly pictures.
That is because an image needs forever an URL's themselves and you need a
lot of bandwide for them when you are not working with thumbnails.

(Or you would have an ActiveX or Java Component for that)

So when you as you said be a Newbie, I would take that for the next project.

(Even on professional WYSIWYG tools is working with images not always what
it has to be, they are often rearanged etc.)

Just my thought,
