Just checking - I hope I didn't miss an email in there somewhere. Cool looking site! Hey Dan,

I never heard from you, so I’m assuming you got the renames done on your own? Just checking - I hope I didn’t miss an email in there somewhere.

Cool looking site!

Satellite has latency issues, though, which means that I have great download speeds on a solid 50MB file, but if it's 50MB of 1000 tiny files, it's not quite as great because the satellite has to relay those calls for more data every single time and going through space isn't the same as going through a cable. That said, this site loads up way faster than the Blogger site! Unfortunately, the bottlenecks are identical: calling Joe Carter's Evangelical Links through Blogrolling, calling Truth Laid Bear's Ecosystem data (which now works again), and calling the Amazon images for the books. I got rid of my own Blogrolling link, so that's a tad faster than before. The "Kingdom Links" are all in the Wordpress MySQL database so the call stays on this domain. I've considered moving some things to another page. I still haven't filled out my About tab above, but I might add another tab to handle all the stuff that's slowing down this page. We'll see. Don't know what else to do. I already got a complaint from a couple users who say my 1200x960 backdrop is too small for their 1600x1200 monitors. (I had no idea anyone ran their Web browsers full screen past 1024x768 res. Not sure I understand that, but...oh well!) I had the larger graphic up there, but it was 70k. The smaller one is 41k and even that has a few artifacts. I try to keep my images around 10k as much as possible, but a few break that in GIMP, no matter how much compression I try. I hear you, but I can't believe I'm worse than anyone else! Oengus,

If you wanted to center the background image, you could set the applicable line of CSS to this:

background: url( images/csbgd.jpg ) no-repeat fixed bottom center;

It’s just a matter of changing “left” to “center” in there.
