well, 'spaw..it all depends on how clever/industrious the WebMeister (oohhh!! ME??) is..you can't easily put a link from every page to every other page, but there 'should' be a 'base' page where you have either thumbnail pics or a list of names, and I started out doing approximately that, but the needs of the Mudcat don't fit exactly with the 'fill in the blanks' template that I am working with, and I simply have not gotten into the learning curve far enough to do it the more elegant way...

for one thing, our album, like Topsy, just sort of grows...I made a page of thumbnails, but in otder to add to it, I have to re-do the whole thumbnail page......and to put more than 3 links on a page, I have to hide them in the text beside the pictures...and I grouped it first by geography, but there are more of us in some places than others...and as it gets further along, it is more difficult to re-sort...and this is a BUSY summer..*grin*...I am in my workshop turning wood in every spare moment...

(I keep hinting for some clever, knowlegeable person to take this away from me and do it right...but Mudcatters are known for being pretty smart *wink*)

but, you are right, it need some polishing and re-arranging, and I will try to do something about it...if you go to the first page, you will find some links which get you into it a ways, but don't link to the newest pages...I will go look and see if I can at least provide a path that will get you to everyone if you come in at the 'main' page...

(just a thought...do you know Bruce Phillips story about 'Moose Turd Pie'? *evil grin*)
