hey, sorry about being late in this reply. When i said shift+F5, i just wanted it to do a complete reload. this would be the same thing as clearing private date in firefox.

I would preload using CSS. Essentially you would need to make an image 2x the height of the image/hover image. The top half of the new image should be the the regular image and the bottom half should be the hover image. Then use CSS to set the background for the link to be the new image at position 0 0, and set the hover to have a background of the same image at 0 -20px (or whatever half the height of the image is).

@vkaryl: Thanks! Hmm.. I’m going to look into the slow load- I have a feeling I may have too much JS!

Anyone else experiencing a slow load?

but I want to change my name

OK so it’s not official, but I might be the biggest idiot ever!

..I hope there is an award for that!

I actually had my stylechanger on while I tested the site.. SO, I thought my theme was set, but actually it was still set to the default theme. Everything is good now!

Sorry I suck so bad!

no, do a Shift+F5 on your page, then hover over a link under “meditation practices” and you’ll notice a quick pause while the image loads.

its no big deal, but i think it looks more professional to have everything done loading at the start!

as for the screen resolution… 800 x 600 is rare! I actually just noticed that only <2% of my visitors run 800 x 600, so I’m currently in the middle of a redesign that drops support for this screen size. I’ll probably include a hack that checks screen resolution and redirects the stylesheet if it’s 800×600.

anyways, good luck!

Takes a pretty long time to load for me!

Otherwise, I love the design. Great work!

are you talking about adding page links via a WordPress function?

If so, try following this: tutorial.

The function that i think you are looking for is:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>, and you can insert it using that tutorial.

If this isn’t it, use the contact link at that site to send me an e-mail, and I’ll help you out!

Good luck!

nice work!

I think that after a while, though, that yellow box at the bottom will become real long (like- a little overly long)!

I STRONGLY suggest validating your CSS (validation link) before going nuts over this!

I like it. Comparing the two, I see vast improvement!

One note: On the hover on the left sidebar, preload the hover image so there isn’t a pause the first time someone hovers.

Just a pet peeve!

Otherwise, I love it! Beautiful work!

i would suggest some sort of header image, instead of just plain text!

i also feel like there are way too many ads.

Personally, i don’t like seeing ads when they stand out more than content!

have you tried changing the line height?

I really like the way that it looks, but I personally prefer content to be centered!

Very nice work, and good luck!

no, i don’t want the offset on some of my pages. Though, not I notice that no conditionals are working for me!

i get a horizontal scroll, which bothers me!
