It is a bit lacking. So I would appreciate some comments as the sequence of steps that you would take to improve the site. I have my opinions, but would like them confirmed. The URL you ask? Here it is: http://www.stevenfrankelmd.com Thank you all! Enjoy! It's your endeavor! Chuck, the male ladybug. http://www.anthemwebs.com http://www.moderncabinetmaking.com

(1) http://www.stevenfrankelmd.com/ (a) Load time 35 seconds (b) Book image 27.3 MB and Nav Bar 45.0 MB (c) Large amount of "white space" at bottom (d) Counter (2) http://www.stevenfrankelmd.com/about.html (a) Load time: 1 minute 35 seconds (b) Photo image 233.1 MB (c) Horizontal scroll bar (d) White space at bottom (3) http://www.stevenfrankelmd.com/contact.html (a) Fast load (Nav Bar in cache) (b) Horizontal scroll bar (c) White space at bottom (4) http://www.stevenfrankelmd.com/intricate.html (a) Fast Load (b) White space (c) Horizontal scroll bar (5) http://www.stevenfrankelmd.com/workshops.html a) Fast Load (b) White space (c) Horizontal scroll bar Hope this helps John Age has taught me the value of a hammer as to child-proof caps!

It was way to distracting to read anything. Also ther side nav was missing on the articles page, but I thought that was a blessing! Good Luck with it! "My mind works like lightning.

John40004, I appreciated the timings. I have a 1.5 MB broadband connection. One note though, the image sizes quote: (b) Book image 27.3 MB and Nav Bar 45.0 MB are 27.3 KB and 45.0 KB respectively. Thanks again everyone. Now to get busy and figure how to implement Vince's Menu stuff! Enjoy! It's your endeavor!

You have me worried now - I was working on the 2003 through 2007 Profit Plans. I think I better go double-check my cashflow John Age has taught me the value of a hammer as to child-proof caps!
