Cindy, glad to see that you are keeping busy......
My Wedding sites are doing fine, want to exchange links with me?
I have a travel category which you could use....(see UK site)

Adding your link is now automated with my new Links/resources/partners program

Catch you later.................

Re: Please test for fast loading and...

Hi, it has a strange type of load for me. It seems that the two music files are deciding who’s going to play first, & for me neither one did. Or they are just far to large for an index page..
Personally, I would either set these files to work via select. (Not auto start) or have links to another page with them on. Think you may find people leaving if the site is not loading properly or to slowly. One thing that maybe worth doing is reducing the file & bit rate. This bit of free software is really handy for this. http://www.mediamonkey.com/

Good luck.

Re: Please test for fast loading and...

Thank you Chris! I have bookmarked that link and will take a look. I don't have either one set to auto start, you have to click on one or the other to listen. In the meantime, I like your idea about having a link to another page, but I think it looses the effect I'm after in that I want people to listen to the music while on my home page. I guess I have to give somewhere... Back to the drawing board! Thanks again.

Home page loaded fast but in two distinct sections - would not stop me from reading/viewing it. Went to a few more pages and all worked and looked great.

Dream Lady Music is worse than images to get down to a small file & sill be worth having. But if you get the bit rate down to the 80/100 mark & if you can have the sound in mono. It will save a lot of file space & download time.

Nah! Hope not. Don’t want that bug on my machine. I have been using this one for a few months now & no problems.

Cindy,

it loaded pretty fast on my (fairly slow) DSL line (lol). No probs there.

The text in the middle (Featured Artists) and the audio sliders took a while but wouldnt have bugged me if I was actually loading your site to check out re travel etc. Lots of stuff to distract me in the meanwhile :-

Colour? Nice and blue... as close to navy as I think you can get, lol.

Cheers

Will

Re: Please test for fast loading and...

Will: thank you for taking a look. I'm going to try Chris's suggestion above (as soon as I figure out how to do it) and see if that helps with the music files. How's your ebook going?

Re: Please test for fast loading and...

Hey Cindy,

tks for asking... i'm optimising all sorts of things like mad, lol - onsite and offsite optimisation ... I find that the process on all fronts, including adding - on occasion - to the eBook, adding bonus books, getting testimonials etc etc is a huge undertaking but i like the challenge... lol.

chao 4 now

Re: Please test for fast loading and...

not the worst but not the best loading time i mean with dial up the music takes forever to load but everything else doesn't take to long.

Re: Please test for fast loading and...

Thank you gkontis and jOsh710! I think I'm getting the picture. If I can't figure out how to do what Chris says above, I may have to move the music off my home page and onto their bio pages. Gonna work on it this week. Thanks for taking the time to view and respond!
