This would be a bit better suited to the devel list, so I set the reply-to for that...

One of the best tools for handling the type of display you're looking for would be SVG, which is a standard for vector graphics that incorporates much of the SMIL animation features (making it comparable to the proprietary Flash format for animation).  What you could do with SVG is either place each image in a small SVG wrapper that specifies a delay before displaying the image, or place them all in one SVG that displays each according to the delays you want.  Either would accomplish your goal.

SMIL is a great standard for time-based manipulation of web pages, but it's not really supported in browsers yet, SVG at least has some plugin support.

If you need maximum portability, then the previous poster's suggestion to use JavaScript is the best solution, but it'll take a bit of work, and you need to warn visitors that JavaScript is required, since many turn those features off to avoid overly aggressive content (i.e. spyware/adware/overlay ads/pop-under ads, etc...)

I've built a lot of websites for my own use, and learned a lot in 
the process, but when I can't figure out how to do certain things, 
sometimes searching the 'net finds a solution, but sometimes it doesn't. 

I'm assuming that it may be considered off-topic to post questions 
on this topic on the plug-discuss forum, so can anyone recommend 
a similar type of forum where one can ask questions and get answers? 

No doubt there are some html experts among plug members, but I did 
not find anything on the plug website that lists and describes members' 
abilities and professional services offers, etc. 

Just as an example, I'll mention one of my current questions, which is: 
How can one control the sequence and timing of image displays on 
a website so that a first designated image displays, then a slight delay, 
then the next designated image displays below that, then another, etc.
