My family absolutely loved looking at the photos of menorahs from around the world! It was especially interesting to see the one from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where a friend of mine lives. Neither of us realized any Jews lived there. Seeing the photos helped my family realize that there really are Jews all over the world. Especially for those of us who live in areas not very populated with other Jews, it was so wonderful to see the various countries and cities with their beautiful menorahs.
Also, your "Chanukah How-To" articles are wonderfully informative and very complete. Thank you so much for providing them.
I'm writing this on on a Friday morning, so if you happen to read it today, Shabbat Shalom.

When lighting the candles each night do I need to replace them on every new night so that they will remain the same height?

Looking from the sidewalk, which light should be first? Thanks!

One lights from left to right as the Menorah is facing him. The candles are placed from right to left as the Menorah facing him.
Make sure that the window you are placing it from is not more than 30 feet off the ground. If it is, one should not place the Menorah in the window, rather at the doorway on the opposite side of the Mezuzah.

You'll replace all the candles every night because you let them burn all the way down. Do not blow them out and save them like birthday candles. That's why the boxes come with all the candles needed for 8 nights.
