Just a warning that the site may be even more chaotic over the next couple of days. This is because I’ve taken a deep breath and decided to do stuff like kick out virtually all non-data tables in favour of CSS2-based layouts (= quicker site + more display/media options) and switch to UTF-8 (= more efficient presentation of non-standard characters). I’m going to start tonight and I’ll tell you when I think I’ve finished.

Excellent. While you’re at it, could you change the way your rss is configured, to include the whole entry and not just the first 20 words? I think it’s in the moveable type preferences/ intro length. If you set it at something huge, eg 20000, it’ll include the whole intro in my reader and make my reading of Baldie that much swifter.

I’ll probably rig up two feeds, one full content (inc images) with a cutoff at a certain point and the other a summary. Bandwidth will probably come into consideration at some stage, he said naively.
Looks fine to me with 2K MSIE5. Doesn’t seem much quicker though
Re speed: sometimes the bottleneck is in the mind of the user.
Thankyou, dear
