but that system seriously limits the number of images I can include in a post before making my text seem like an afterthought.
So, on my last post I simply linked to the images in my text like this This method allows me to insert many, many more photos, but requires the reader to click a lot, in and out of my page, back and forth, which will eventually annoy the user into leaving forever. I've considered making the text links open up new windows, but that would probably be even more annoying. Nobody likes pop-ups. So my question to all you coding, designing bloggers extraordinare is, how can I effectively insert a bunch (let's say ten or so) photos into a five or six paragraph story without using enormous amounts of space, and without annoying my readers? I'm well versed with HTML and know the basics of CSS and JavaScript, but haven't gotten into any of the 2.0 technologies (AJAX, ect..) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton!

I always put them in the post as most people dont want to have to navigate away from the post and back. Have you tried something like Flikr or google photos?
Hi Miles,
I've had the same question. One thing I do is make a slideshow created with flickrSLiDR:

You can take a look at one I recently put together here:

If you come up with any other brilliant ideas, let me know!
I would have to say to thumbnail the images and if people want to see the image larger then they just click on the thubnail to bring up the actual photo size.

Generally speaking, people do not click. No matter what.
