Concentrate on that logo image first, though. Ironically, slicing the image accomplished only increasing your page weight by the amount of the code required for the slice container table. One thing you can try is to create two slices which contain only the main title and the subtitle, with the rest containing only background "plaque" slices. These last, textured as they are, you can optimize more heavily than the slices containing text without noticeable degradation by comparison with the text slices.
A quick check around a few WebDev references found a general consensus of maximum page weight for reasonable load times (dial-up) which ranged between 45 and 60 KB, with most suggesting no more than 50 KB, for the WHOLE page. Your logo image alone is half again that size. Consider this, yahoo.com is 37 KB, Lycos.com is 30 KB, and Google is 12 KB! See a pattern here? ;-)
Cheers, Scott

Hi Jan,
Thank you for the e-mails. I did slice up my image into 6 pieces. I hope that helps. If this doesn't help then I will go to the code.
