I could use some feedback on an idea...

That I've actually done, but want to be sure it looks good and doesn't take forever to load...

Exactly a week after Valentine's will be one year ago that we met . So I took and scanned all the keepsakes I have from before he left, edited them into GIF files using PaintShop, then inserted them into a web page on my site (you have to have the URL to get there, which I will add in a minute). If its super slow loading, I can probably compress the files a bit more without it looking too bad....hopefully it looks as good as I think it does!

Let me know what you think, pretty please. If its slow to load, could you let me know what type of connection you use. Its slow to load for me, until I consider its huge picture files and that my connection is just shy of being high speed.... Thanks for your help!

That's really great!!

SO much effort, I'm sure he'll absolutely love that!
And it loaded in no time for me too by the way

I have high speed, but it opened immediately for me! Like in less than 2 seconds. And it's really, really nice!

[Gurl]

Awesome!! Thanks for the quick responses... Nice to know it will load well One of my net-peeves is slow loading websites LOL Now to get the guts to send the link...I've got til Feb 21..I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....

It loaded fast for me too, and is so sweet! What a wonderful surprise for him. You can totally send it! I give you mouse click bravery vibes ~*~*~*~*!

Loaded fast for me too. That was definitely really nice. haha, I love the receipt.

[Gurl]

I didn't know why, but I had an irresistible urge to hold on to that receipt...I guess deep down I knew he was it for me. I can't believe we haven't had a rough patch yet. True, we only saw each other about once a month on average, but we've always talked/chatted every night except for the first month or so he was in Kuwait... Its amazing.

It made me all teary-eyed and shivery - it's gorgeous. Because it's so personal. And you keeping that receipt... wow. :-)
If he didn't love it, he'd be MAD.

[Laura]

AND it loaded really quickly. I'm on Firefox. :-)

[PurpleDreamer]

That really is awesome, what a great idea! I'm sure he'll love it .

By the way, it loaded immediately for me and I have crappy, slow net :P.

[Alisz]

That's really sweet! It definitely shows all the work you put into it and that you care about him a lot. You should totally send it to him! ^^

And it insta-popped for me, like boom it was there all loaded and everything. I'm on a crappy bandwidth capped throttled during "peak hours" (which is like 20 hours of the day) DSL connection, so if it loads quickly for me it'll load quickly for anyone XD Loaded faster than this forum ^^

It's sooo good. I think he'll love it. It's very pretty and it loads quickly. You should definitely send him that link. It would be such a waste of great keepsakes and memories if you don't. And who knows, He might have memories to share with you once he sees yours!

[Jackie]

It loaded quickly for me! It looks so great, I'm sure he'll like it a lot! Great job.

Thanks so much everyone. The feedback helps me feel more like it really is something worth sending, I am also going to try and time it so a letter gets to him the same day. Someone was even kind enough to private message me with a typo..thank goodness! So now its perfect....fixing it gave me a chance to add a line I'd meant to put in the first time but forgotten *D'OH!*

@Laura-- he is some what crazy, which is why we get along. He will appreciate it, cause he is just the shiznit like that lol

@JoMarie-- it would be nice if it prompted him to share his favorite memories or (not likely) what keepsakes he might have held on to from our times out together!

I think it's absolutely awesome and I'm sure he'll love it. It loaded right away for me! You gave me another idea on my "things to do" list.
