I would like to say a few words, may not help but it makes my mind up right off.

Rob, your site takes 5 seconds to load to where I see something of a site, then 10 promo images all load.. ugly.

HL the link you posted to gorpus took 13 seconds to come up to anything.. then continues to load..

The post to the hub, that took .5 seconds to fully come up, I have 25mbs down, I have loaded theses pages in three different browsers, most timings are the same..

Bottom line to me, browsing/surfers see more

Newt, I posted the link to the Gorpus template demo only for the purpose of visual comparison. The old adage, "One picture's worth a thousand words", is not just a made up saying.

I was in no way trying to bash, I was giving MHO.

HL, I understand your reason to the link, I guess timings meant nothing there, sorry, me being color blind in shades of reds and greens, the Gorpus has red box titles, with black lettering. The contrast for me is too much, I cannot read it.

I also was just trying to say, surfers don't wait on slow sites..
