Tina,

    I just finished mine after 3 years of on and off work. It is done
    entirely in Macromedia Flash and Action Script, and is
    semi-interactive. All my jewelry is enetered in an Access database,
    from which I can generate an XML file. The Action Script program
    reads in the information from my XML file which contains such
    information as the name of piece, materials, qty, price and location
    of the image file. The good thing is that I don't have to change the
    HTML or program anything anymore. Once I upload new XML file and new
    images, the program knows how to read it in and display it. 

    It was a lot of work to do all that, despite the fact that I am a
    former computer professional with an MA in Comp. Science. Somewhere
    down the middle I really regretted ever starting it and not hiring
    someone to do it. And I didn't even get to the optimization part! So
    my advise for those who haven't started yet, get someone professional
    to do it. You will save a lot of time (which you could spend making
    jewelry). 

cheers to all
