Btw, your background image bg98.png is 1.25MB, that is way too big. You need to knock that down a whole bunch. If you ever get a bunch of traffic you will be paying for a bunch of bandwidth that does nothing for you. Plus it is slowing your page load way the hell down.

You need to get those pages to just pop into place.

If you feel you must keep that image then optimize it as a jpg. Doing it on a medium setting you can knock it down to 55k or so. The PNG is doing nothing for you (imho).

On that background image you have text which is hidden by the rest of your page. That again makes the image bigger (storage wise) and the text is doing nothing for you.

My opinion, kill the background image completely. You will get a much better page load. You have a couple of seconds max to grab someones attention on the net, if they spend that time waiting for your page to load you have lost them.

I did a test in IE and I did a slow count to 7 before the background image showed in the browser. Wasted time.

Just imho, of course.

Hope that helps.
