Thanks for the reply, and thankyou for rixing the URL.

Just again for people who didn't get it right-

http://adsense-exposure.blogspot.com

So you say it takes too long to load.. Is there any thing I can do about it or is that just because of the blogger server?

any other stuff?

It takes ages to load in fact so long that most people will give up and go somewhere else. I'm using 2mb broadband btw.

Also you need to proof read your stuff or get someone else to

Wow, that's very interesting.

I never thought it takes that long to load.. it load it really quickly from here..

about the gramer/spelling mistakes, I am sorry about those.. I am from Israel and I know I have speling and grammer mistakes.. =/ I try to fix them but I don't always catch them all..

Thanks for your correction I will go ahead right now and fix it.

But is there any thing I can do to make the page load faster?

Thanks =)

It loaded up pretty quick for me. Not sure what problem the others are having but maybe it was a server-side issue.

I really hope that was the case because I can't stand the thought of people leaving before the page even loads..

Plus I think I have nothing to do with the load time because its a publice blogger server from what I know and understand..

Can some other people tell me if it loaded quickly or slowly for them please?

Good that's reassuring =)

I'm glad because it was never as slow as people described it.. Actually it was never slow at all.. maybe it was just crowded with visitors or something like that..

I hope it really is like this for every one.. maybe if someone else can have a check for me?

Thanks=)

Yes, are the page headers really pale or do I need new glasses? I can't read them on my tft.

RE: Adsense Site Critiques please - 7/27/2006 16:27:34   
Well at a guess, you have 7 lots of css stylesheet controlling the page. 1 internal and 6 external. It took me a while to find the background but it's importing a stylesheet from a completely different web site.

@import url('http://googlelite.free.fr/curves-blue.css');

I am now seeing it in Firefox and I suspect this is why there are reports of slow page loads. If loads of people are hotlinking direct to his stylesheet it'll take forever to load. And if you don't have his permission to link to his stylesheet, be prepared for it to disappear completely when he finds out.

OK, I had a look at the template site. I think you'll be better off if you download the files and upload them to your own site, not hotlink to them.

If they suddenly decide to do some work on the site, or change all the content, your site is in trouble.

You'll need to change the import line in the source from

@import url('http://googlelite.free.fr/curves-blue.css');

to wherever you put the css file on your site.

That one loads fast. You have a spelling mistake though. Left column header.... ARTICLS

I'll take a look at the other one tomorrow as it's now 2.23am here and I need sleep.

Unless one of our US or Australian cousins comes along to help first...........
