Alright, finally done it. The splash banner is now 48kb and should take about 18secs to load on a 28.8 k connection, which is not that bad I suppose.

I'm thinking of moving my blog over to my own server, but I don't know how to shift the archive files. Aih.. in the meantime blogspot should work for a while until I figure out what to do or source for some friendly help.   ¶ 16:38
