loads pretty fast for me. But, you do have lots of stuff on the page.

I'm on dial-up right now and it took just over 1/2 a minute to load - it's the top of the page that is taking the time - that pic/flash - so you might want to look at optimizing it.

Re: My Website Takes Ages To Load Up! :S

so what you are saying is i need to reduce the quality of my flash banner?

and ive heard that making the banner HTML helps it load faster, is that right?

Loaded fine here. Agree, match side vertical nav bar with your top. Would really complement your site. Good job!
