Because my personal page isnt a design show off. Its designed for me. I couldn't care less how long it takes to load. Its not a business site, it makes me no money, and if you dont like it, I couldnt care less.
I know that most designers would kill to be able to design something similar and thats all that really matters.
Your point about image sizes, yes i can shrink them into .gifs and they would load a billion times faster. who cares? I could also have a small boring logo and not bother about how it resizes on diff resos. and it would load even faster. Ive taken part in the 5k competition before Sualdam, I choose not to do that. If you were critiquing a business site of mine, I'd consider your advice gold, but since it is for my personal pleasure, Its not wanted :)
I didn't ask for a critique of my page. The site is written very well thanks. The number of unique visitors and positive feedback alone reinforces that for me :)
So while we are offering positive feedback, i visited the www u have attached to your profile, and considering it took over 30 seconds to load for a very bare site, including a BIG "Loading 15% done etc etc etc" I'd consider you need to work on your site before telling others what to do with theirs.
just a thought :)
