I tried the trick of publishing all to .mac, but the photo pages load so bloody slow. Am I doing something wrong here, or is iweb and .mac just slow... I don't remember this problem when my pages were made in homepage...

My site, so you can see how long the load time is.

its the size of the site, not the hosting thats the problem.

I am pretty new to posting web sites obviously, but I'd didn't think that 30 or so thumbnails would take that long to load on broadband. What is the recommended photo page size, 10-15?

As well, when iweb is open, it seems to use a sh*t load of ram... 310Mb!!! What's up with that???

Your site is actually quite fast, and I'm in China, the only issue is the length of time it takes the portfolio page to load.

I suggest making 2 or 3 separate portfolio sections, to limit the number of thumbnails on each page.

Don't worry about how much memory iWeb or anything else takes up, it works in a different way to Windows memory management.

The problem with iWeb is that it creates ridiculously large PNG image files. That's why your "Welcome" page is loading so slow. The "Portfolio" page was loading fine for me.
