But there is light in the tunnel: 1. The images can be lossless compressed, see testpage over here <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-compressing-jpg.htm>. 2. Then combining the images, and putting them as background-images on the page (with different background-positions) can save some http-requests and gets rid of empty spaces in the tcp/ip-packets coming down: also contributions to speed 'm up. 3. In the (normally spoken) visited page just before this one, you can preload (a part of) the images by placing them just before the end of the </body>, as hidden images (a <div> with {margin-left: -9999px}). >david wrote- Put the nav under the header images with lead (margin) under so it's not to tight to first heading. Ditch the double rule border on it. Set the the color for the links to the blue you've used elsewhere instead of gold, and use black on hover-- not red. Thanks for taking a look and for your assistance. The pages are finished (as finished for a meddler as it gets). I have some accessability issues to deal with, namely offering an option for text only pages. I recompressed the images and got the tech article down to ~170K from ~400K! Thanks also to Georg for insightful answers to my questions regarding links. And special thanks to David Laakso for the color scheme. I think its ace, as does she who must be obeyed. Initial feedback from those up the food chain at work is very positive. Any mistakes or anything that looks naff is my fault alone.
