OK, reason it's all so slow. The css file is called from another server and it is calling images from yet another server.

If you want to speed the page up you'll need to bring the css file and all of the images into your site and change all the references to them as well. Not sure if they'll let you.

@import url(base-weblog.css);

Wow that's great stuff, but can you explain how I should do that? and may I ask what that code you gave me is?

is it what I have now or is it what I should have in order to get it to load faster and properly..?

I doubt if you can do it, not without their permission anyway. Can't see any other reason why they'd be linking in that way.

The code is the css file you currently have and it's calling the images in from http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/

If you want to understand the content of that file and maybe, change it at some time then I suggest you use the tutorials at w3schools.

Yes, exactly the same. It took ages to load but at least it arrived with the background.
