As others have said, I'm going to screw you in all ways if you
crash my machine.
I'm using a PII with 300++ of RAM only. Even without firewall +
antivirus, the blog is still very laggy. A lot of sites used Flash,
but I've never got a problem with them because they don't
lag.
You need to resize them and tweak it so that it's smaller.
And your background. Use one that won't affect the readability of
words. Seriously, it's hard to read.
No advertising as mentioned unless you are given the permission
to.
And your blog is slow to load despite on being on a broadband 3Mbps
connection. Now, you tell me is it your problem or my problem?
