Terry:

I'm not sure if I am understanding you correctly (probably not), but 
if it were me and I wanted to simplify the above code, I would use 
php. For example, instead of using "004LukeShannon.jpg" throughout 
your code, such as:

<div class="nor" id="004LukeShannon.jpg">

I would use:

<?php $image = "004LukeShannon.jpg"?>

<div class="nor" id="<?php echo $image; ?>">

That way you declare the image only once at the beginning of your 
code and use <?php echo $image; ?> for everywhere you want the 
image-name to appear.
