OK .. OK .. I implemented a new top level index page. It now has a list of about 10 EC images from around the net. No real logic went into picking them. I selected the first nice looking images that showed up quickly in a Google Images search (you know how it works, Crow). It appears that an image needs to meet the following technical criteria to be nice on the front page:
+ at least 300x300 to look nice
+ <100K so they load quickly
+ spread across multiple sites so we don't overlink to one site
I can easily modify the list. Just let Spooky or myself know the URL. I personally would like to have good quality images that are either:
+ representative images from throughout his career
+ EC and board members
+ posters/previews of upcoming events or releases
New Front Page

I'm having no luck seeing this.

It is at http://www.elviscostellofans.com not one of the sub-pages. It has JavaScript to do the random lookup of images. Do you have that disabled in your browser?
