Wow, that's really nice!
May I ask how on earth your site loads so quick? I know the layout I wish to use for mine, and can sacrifice the background picture/whatever but want the same layout and images I have used, however it loads so painfully slow.
Is there anything that you could recommend?

Hey,
Thanks Delude, glad you like it. It's always good to hear people like a layout when you've spent quite a lot of your time perfecting.
As for it loading quickly, RFlyGD currently uses a dynamic background image which is told to stretch to the given width of the user's browser window.
Entertaining this method, instead of using a physical background image, the site only has to load a small image, and then tile it to fill the background.
Much faster than piecing together (and slicing up) your own background in Photoshop or something similar, using separate smaller images.
The main graphical layout is just a huge image which has been sliced up in Photoshop, re-pieced together in iWeb, and centered using margins.
I've had a look at your site, and you'll be glad it know there wasn't an overly long wait for the content to load.
Another tip I can give you and everyone else thinking about web design is to save sliced images 'For Web'.
I cant begin to tell you the amount of people I've seen who use the highest setting a format like .Jpeg offers, to save their sliced images in.
This just results in the images taking forever to load. It's a common mistake, but one which can easily be resolved.
After saying this, you may not be using sliced imagery, or Photoshop, and it may be to do entirely with the code,
which I'm no expert at myself just yet.
Anyway, I hope this helps you a little bit.
