When widgets go bad

While the Slideshow Widget on the right hand side of this page was a little bit of fun, it had the side effect of slowing down the page. Basically, a preview for each picture in the photo album was loaded in you computers web cache, slowing the load time of the page significantly. As most visitors to this blog come to read something new everyday, rather than look at 2 month old photos, I've decided to axe the widget. I may resurrect it for special occasions (Doeberl Cup photos etc), but for know it's gone.
But for those who do like looking at old photos, don't panic. You can still see them by choosing the Photo link on the left hand side of the page.
(Tip to Malcolm T for pointing out the page loading problems).
