My two biggest issues were the IE6 users, and the bandwidth that the images were using. On of the good side effects of catering for the IE6 users however was that I realised that the GIF images I had created for the left and right sides of the header worked much better than I had expected, so with a little editing I was able to replace the 150k PNG images with 30K of GIFs - everyone's a winner! I can still shave a few K off, but I'll not bother since the work required for the end result is a waste of time. I still have to format the comments correctly, they were a bit...weak at the moment. Cheers David!

I've battled the PNG issue for years now, so I can feel the pain, and I have to admire your dedication by giving that 17% GIFs. I would have put up a header bar saying, "The reason this website looks crap is your fault, not mine, so do us both a favour and update to IE7, or use Firefox/Opera." :P Good job on the design, it really looks good.
