ok, they were shrunk within about 30 seconds of actually deciding to start it. I'm playing with formatting. Captions are a pain in the butt, else it would be REALLY easy to make this look nicey nicey
assuming TWG.com won't screw with align attributes in <img> or <p> tags

Ok, here's what I did

I got rid of the captions, as much for consistency's sake as for ease. Not all of them pictures had captions, and only one had a caption with real content, and that caption I made part of an appropriate paragraph.

I got rid of the HTML definitions of the pics, this way they aren't warped at all by being forced to be square. I suppose if you wanted to, you could throw them back in with the new values, but it's not really worth it.

Incidentally, the pictures are 1/10th the size they were before, however, I made new names for the files, so the links still lead to the full size pictures. However, if the new pictures do not go into the same folder as the actual article (which I know they don't), you'll need to re-insert the path. For ease of working, I made them all simple links to filenames. Shouldn't be too hard to add the http://www.timewastersguide.com/VG/pictures/Ninja/ back into the SRC attributes, though.

I got rid of all the table information, all formatting is done with <P> and <IMG> tags. This makes it more flexible for screen resizing. It'll look more standard, no matter what size the IE window is.

http://www.saintehlers.com/misc/ninja is where you'll find all the files, including my rewrite of the article formatting.
