Talking website needs your review

    Hi,

    Today I made my website "talk" by adding a personal audio message to it using a streaming audio piece of software. But when I click the "Play" button, it takes about 30 seconds for the audio to start playing.

    I was wondering if this delay happens just for me or you experience it too. Could you please visit my website here and click on the green "Play" button almost at the top of the page, and let me know what happens for you?

    Thank you for your help! :)

    P.S. Also please mention your connection speed.

    Thank you Amy. :) Maybe the delay for me is because I use a dial-up connection. Does anyone with a slower connection experience this problem?

    I've got DSL, I clicked and waited 30 seconds. Clicked again and it played fine. Just to note, the "object" tag will be discontinued in newer versions of IE, so you might want to change the way it's displayed on the page.

    It played fine for me also, If its slow for you on dialup you may want to put a small note under the player about it being slower on dialup or perhaps put up a lower quality version.
