HA HA HA! We are back up. I upgraded our pckage to allow 7gB of transfer. We were up to about 6.5 this month. I was not expecting that.

You know, maybe you should take your avatar, and store it here, instead of on vw, so you'll decrease your bw usage a little

Good idea. It's taken care of. Thanks

Another good way to save on bandwidth and speed up your page is to use JPEG compression for your images. Its very easy to use with Paint Shop Pro 6 +. You can compress the images to almost 1/10 of their original size. If you need help figuring out how to do it just let me know.

Yeah, I know howto do it. I do it with all of my thumbnails for the reviews. I have not attacked the other pics on the site though. Keep in mind that the site was not made by me. I am actually having some work done on it pretty soon.

hmm, but that is the proof that we have visitors

hmmm, bryce, maybe it would be more simple to redesign the page and make our own shidd

Unfortionatly my design skills are pretty limited and whatever design comes after this will have to be better than what we have now. I would like to have a new design though. I would like something that i can just open up in dreamweaver and edit with ease. Right now many parts of the site have to be done in notepad. I know some HTML and how to create images but my artistic ability is lacking. Plus I don't even have the time. Some guy said that he would make the whole site fully editable in dreamweaver for 100.00. If he does a good job I may have him add some functionality to it also. I was thinking maybe a consumer reviews page. Well, that type of stuff is at least 3 months down the road anyway. If you have any ideas though, I am open to them.

ya mean 100 $? well, seems that good work is expensive. i will have some friends interviewed bout the stuff and check out some possibilities to make or work easier and more cost and time efficient.
