Experiments

I have switched to using inline style sheets for my comments pages, so can those of you who were experiencing problems with the stylesheet taking a long time to load have a look and see if that's any better? Thanks

Yes - it means I have to maintain my stylesheet code in 2 places :( On the other hand, that shouldn't be a more important consideration than the usability of my site for it's readers and I discovered from Jeremy/Ian the other night that the stylesheet was loading so much later that there was a visible re-draw after the initial page load. I assume that's my hosting company serving slower than LJ. I never noticed it because I'm on my pages so much that I think my browser has cached my stylesheet.

Now that I'm with OpenHosting, I haven't noticed any particular decrease in speed in stylesheet loading (although fetching email using a remote web client does seem to be a tad slower) - but then, I'm just pleased to be with a bunch of friendly guys who actually answer support questions and set things up when you want them too!!
