None of the buttons works when I go into mooch menu or screen caps. The menus on the right dont work.

Nice sight otherwise.

The picture of the guy and the peace sign looks an awful lot like you MS. :lol:

PNG's tend to be larger files than JPG's. Try a version with only jpg's. The page took ages on my 56k connection. Otherwise it looks nice at its current level of development.

Still, try to make it as 56k as possible.

I will try Orph. Will that program XAT.com still leave the images looking nice but make them smaller in size for a quicker load time? How else can I make it more 56K friendly?

And thats the idea about the guy and girl uptop, its me and my wife. =)

Juim, I said that a lot of the links wont work yet, as I am still working on the site and adding content. they will work soon.. Pegs is making me a couple SIG tuts to add to the site.

yeah Morph, that song we were country for some reason was in my head and I just adapted it to my needs.. lol.

Xat shows a clear before and after MS. You do not have to accept its output as is. It allows for a s**tload of adjusting.

As for 56k friendly, I dunno without looking at the html but as far as I could see, the images were popping up everywhere so I assume there are a bunch. Making them all tiny will surely help a lot.

Try Xat, its a miracle worker. Even if you cannot make them smaller, its still a cool start. :smile:

Use less (or no) images.

Honestly, your site still has something I don't understand (which many people do as well) ... why the hell is the top title space so large? :confused:

This is a quick photoshop of a way you could compact it more and give more "impactful" content. I mean ... people are there for the content ... not your title bar. :razz:

Here

Again, it's just an idea, or rather an example, of how you can make it take less space. But, it is your site.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Get rid of the horrible Comic Sans MS font. In my opinion, it doesn't go well on webpages.
