Thanks mate. It's definitely been worth it. The control I get over the site is about 50,000 times better haha. Hey, could anyone check to see whether my Header is coming up OK, I've had some problems with FIREFOX viewing today.
Its coming up, but damn your blog is heavy. Its roughly 390kbs at this moment, the header itself is roughly 35kb! You might want to reduce it a bit.
How would I go about doing that? Just decrease the image quality? What about the rest of the blog? Decrease other photo quality? Have less photos on the main page?
Use CSS for the header first. (remove text from the image and use Css to do it). Second open another thread about it (not here)
Yes, compress the image of the header a bit along with the images you post in your posts. For instance you current post has two images of following dimensions 200x300px and 357x256ps respectively and take up 61.14kb and 58.24kb respectively. Now if you just take the header (86.75kb) and the two photos in your current post, it comes out to be 206.13 for just these three images. While it might not matter to some one a 2mbps connection, but any thing slower and the person would be waiting for a long time for the page to load. Just to give you an idea, here is the load time for your blog Connection Rate Download Time 14.4K 309.66 seconds 28.8K 156.53 seconds 33.6K 134.65 seconds 56K 82.15 seconds ISDN 128K 27.52 seconds T1 1.44Mbps 5.49 seconds For more check out this link and test your blog
That's great advice, thanks for the help. Will look into it when I get a chance. Anyone else got good Football Blogs out there?
Yo that header be massive. My suggestion (if not suggested yet): Code the header to have that red background. Input the title as text, throw up the logo, leave the dude out.
I don't reaaally understand what the big problem is having a header that is "so big". Most computer users will surely load it without too much of a problem. And I like the dude
