More recent versions of Photoshop do this automatically.

From the "File" menu, select: "Automate -> Web Photo Gallery" This is what I use, but then I tinker with the resulting HTML pages to make them more compact. I use Bbedit for that.

By the way, the HTML on your site is horrendously overcomplicated for a basically simple site.

If you include the "http://" part of your URL, most modern email software will make it directly "clickable" instead of causing readers to have to copy and paste the URL into their browser to see your site. I.e.: http://www.raydobbins.com.
