Blog Loading Time

    A new site I am working on is a Blogspot at http://inyourdreamcars.blogspot.com/
    The problem I am running into is that the images cause the front page to take forever when loading. Is there a way that I can limit what is displayed, so it will only show one image per post, and then you click the Article Name to see the rest of that post? I just want to increase the Loading time of the home page.

    What you could do is reduce the number of images per page. move it onto your own hosting or you could use my service :) better blog design and hosting, and have it on your own domain by tomorrow. but yeah its most likely the images..

    All your images look slightly distorted, which means that you are probably using HTML to resize the images. Don't do that. Size the images properly and optimize them using your image editor. Your pages will load faster.

    The images are re sized because they are from other sites. I guess I will have to find non copyrighted images of cars, save them, re size them using photoshop, then put a link to the full scaled version on the web page. However, there is still a problem with the amount of images that will be on the homepage, I wish there was a way to only show a preview of the post up to a certain point so the front page could load quicker.
