Make that menu auto center and it's perfect.

Your background image takes too long to load at first, but once it's cached then it's fine. Other than that, it's good :)

I clicked off after 2 seconds because the page was boring (this was before the background had loaded). The background is nice but needs to load quicker :3

<style type="text/css">body{background:#ffffff url("http://harryy.us/files/bg-main.jpg") fixed center center;}</style>
That's why it's taking so long to load. Try putting it in the CSS file, or making it a .PNG file. It's a nice size file to be loaded and the .PNG will help lower the size. Or do a Javascript image load function, it will load the image almost instantly.

Nice and clean layout, you might indeed want to speed up the loading time of the background pic.

Errr.. what? PNG is a high quality compression, whereas JPEG is low quality (smaller filesize). Lower the quality of the JPEG and/or reduce the dimensions.

Its the speed of the server, not the size of the bitmap. (< 200kb)

Host it on a few different image hosting services, and have your php randomly pick one ;)

I suggest buying a server to host it on rather then host it on your one, it's a bit slow :/

I intentionally make it slow ;)

lol, based on the number of posts about the background, your intentions should be noted in the first post. nice bg, loads slow.
