I will definitely ensure the image size remains below 2MB, and I'm going to find a way to make the music optional but visible at the top so it's easy to toggle (if I even decide to add music; my next build probably won't have any because the story doesn't call for one).
The mobile issue is trivial to solve with dual text columns, so I may well do that in the future. Thanks for the heads up.
I don't create builds for mass likes; I post the quirky characters I enjoy playing in the hopes that at least one person enjoys them as much as I do. I also had a tremendous amount of fun learning how to work with the GIMP and creating Nogo's build image, and I'm looking forward to learning more. I'd rather be 'that guy with the interesting builds that take a little longer to load' than 'that guy with the hideously large builds I won't click on', but if that's what people's attitudes will become, then I will just stop posting my builds here.

Uh, not sure why would you think that. I was just mentioning about text-wrapping nothing else and certainly not changing the way you post builds. I know that this is pretty hard to put up. The Ning editor is a pain if you don't know HTML and even if you do, it doesn't support some features. This way you can avoid all that complications. By the way I can tell you a way to shrink the size of the image even more. Using XnView free software you can open the jpg and just save it. The resulted jpg has less size and no detail loss. For example this build is 2.1MB and after shrinking becomes 1.7.

Wasn't aimed at you in particular, Vazgen ;).
The image you posted was just saved with more compression. You can see that the screenshots are of considerably lower quality than my version's.
edit: I take that back; it only looks a tiny bit grainy and some pics I can't even tell apart. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks Chris. If you want more inspiration, try my latest build, Rasha, the Bog-lurker.
