There are people who still have dialup.  I understand it is still a lot of people.  They might not want to visit your website if it loads too slowly for them.   

Google "gimp optimize image for website"  The second site listed is http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/optimize-images-web-gimp/  I did not read the page, however it appears to be on target.

I hope this doesn't seem rude but why? I mean it is the proper size on the web page.

Hi Mike!!

I was poking around your website and noticed your images have not be optimized for the Internet.  For instance  http://fatherswithforeignbabies.us/photos/saintthomas1.jpg . 

You'll want to make your images smaller in visual size and in file size.
