everyone... comments?

GURU's:
1. The CSS seems to load SLOW (like after the whole page loads. I need a fix for that (?)

I am on T3+ so I really have not the ability to read what should/could be loading and how to arrange properly in code.

also:
The floor is open to other improvements...!

Thank you hedger for the great menu code... ;-) - I had fun deciphering it.

~ hi Mhenke - is anyone else watching? ~

Last Night I totally realized what I did... oops! (and I do not mean the /div ;)) Please check out the improvements which I corrected with last night : Sebec Lake Lodge You should see a little more content now - I hope.

Are there any other worries I might have from visitors?

I wish I would've such a moment of enlightenment one day... 8)

WRT to the site, the first impression: It loads as slow as a snake creeps at 4°C.
I'm (by now) not sure if it's a problem of the page itself or rather your ISP throwing in popups and other stuff...

What popups? (Yay for Firefox. :-)

If I resize my browser window to 800 x 600 then I have two lots of scrollbars to contend with - main window vertical scrollbar and frame vertical scrollbar = not nice.

General opinion? If I didn't know better I would almost think I was looking at a Google page. :-S

Yay too, I block them even in IE, but they're nevertheless there, and I'm not sure if they boost the performance.

~ NOT a N00B ~

Lots of troubleshooting here: Sebec Lake Lodge

O.K. - I really have no idea whatpop ups you are getting. My ISP is me - so I don't know where they are coming from. I'm going to shut off my ie pop-up blocker to see if I can see any. WRT the slowness - what do you suppose is causing it, and how can I fix that?

bod1467 : I set the code for the DIV holding all the information to just under 800px - I 'spose ppl running an 800 wide screen will have some sort of side menu in thier browser that they will have to shut off to view this website - A chance I'm willing to take (this site is geared towards high end users running larger screen monitors and also people with little to NO web experience.) Sounds a bit strange, but I have no fear of pissing anyone off with 800px full of content. Except maybe my web-developing friends ;-)

My main concern is all the content that is there, gets loaded, and quickly. The main page has the javascript code (provided by hedger) with a small amount of images (I probably could trim those down a bit) - then there is the logo (probably also a bit overweight) and the weather iframe (hmmm, seems small enough) - A couple other relatively small images and the text - what's taking so long?

I remember hedger talking recently about a script which load all the content prior to running any scripts. Would that help this page?

What is the correct IP? Maybe the DNS hasn't propagated fully yet.


MHenke on Sep 30, 2005 at 9:06:03 AM (# 14)

I'm sorry, I'm going off-line now. If there's an issue remaining, I'll have a look at it on monday (tho I'm quite sure it's not necessary and some other SE peers will win all the fame... 8).
