    Very nervouse,but here goes

    Hi everybody.

    I only just published my home page , so links do NOT work, but it is loading really really slow????
    Does the same happen for you??
    Any ideas?, all the pics are pixed so I cant think of anything myself.

    Please let me know and thanks for all your support!!

    Hi Redkate, don't be nervous... It wasn't too bad for me, only a few seconds, however you could help speed the page up by using a picture resizer to reduce the pixels down whilst keeping the same size image. This is better than squashing them up manually. BV has a picture resizer somewhere, sorry not sure of the link.
    Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

      Loaded quite fast here as well; just a few seconds. You can test your page by typing / pasting your url in this site and run a check: http://www.sitereportcard.com/

      In the results, click on Load Time Check for a break down of your image loading time.
      Bless you

        Hi Marincky, Thanks for your comfort :) it does help knowing I'm not alone.
        About the resizing; I used the bv pixresizer on the pic's, so can't make that any better, but thanks for the heads up :)

        Hi Tom vR,

        Thanks for that, what a brilliant site!!
        I went for the test, and it said it takes approx. 67 sec. to load, which I guess isn't that bad ;)
        Must be my own connection than. I don't really mind then, as long as it's faster for everybody else :)

        Thanks again, both of you.

        P.S. I have loaded all the pages now, hop you'll let me know what you think? (good or bad)

                  I find it very appropriate for her to spell it in American English, since her site is devoted to American Native Items (when in Rome...).........which reminds me to suggest trying to work "American Native Items" into your verbiage to clarify and to add to KW value, as I caught myself a couple of times snagging a thought on American 'Indian' Natives in the UK.....

                    Hi Karin,

                    I had the same thought as Vasili concerning which "Natives", my confusion compounded by artifacts "from all over the world".

                    Otherwise, nice job!

                      Me again,

                      I do now see pics of the south seas, perhaps make them larger to illustrate a more world-wide sense?

                        One more thought, though it does make most people think of Australia:

                              Hi Vasili & Mcwalsh62,

                              Thanks for your input!!! :)
                              I'll have a good think about what to do about the 'confusion'.
                              And work on the images too (hmmmm,think think) ;)
                              I want to to come accross that I dont sell, 'made in china' stuff, but everything made by the 'native' people of their countries.
                              aka. Native American Indians = USA
                              Maori= New Zealand, Aboriginals = Australia, Samoans = Samoa (Polynesian), Tongans= Tonga, etc.etc
                              Not sure on how to word it without it becoming to much information to read before understanding though?
                              Any thoughts on this for me??, any are welcome :)
                              and Mcwalsh, not sure on the pronunciation bit?? Should I use Australian Aboriginals perhaps?? (sorry, but I am Dutch)lol

                              Hope to hear from you again,
