here's an example of one of those extremely slow (we're talking about five entire minutes or so) loading pages i was talking about yesterday. anyone want to give it a try and let me know how long it took to load for you? maybe it's just me with my webtv browser.

i have cable, and the page refused to load all the way. i just checked LJ Status and saw this:

i'm inclined to believe its lj slowness as it loaded fairly quickly (30 sec) on my dial-up. thanks for the link tho as the entry for 8.15 was very cool :D

About 5 seconds, on cable.

It could be that WebTV is just very slow to render CSS. The design uses a lot of CSS.

what is CSS? thanks for checking it out!

I, too, have cable and it was very quick ... loaded right up within seconds.

I don't know what CSS is either, but a friend filled me in a little. It's like an alternative to HTML. Here's a site about it, but I don't know how informative it'll be for what you want to know:

thanks! they had an faq,which was helpful.

CSS is here to stay. It is a fascinating, elegant technology that can make sites faster, less complicated...

well,certainly not faster with my browser! alas.

CSS is the latest way of displaying web pages, and all browsers should support it. However, I think the WebTV browser is pretty old and may have trouble doing it quickly.

Try visiting places like CSS Zen Garden (http://www.csszengarden.com/), which are CSS design havens, and see what the time required to render them is.

I have comcast cable... and it loaded very quickly. :( Sorry... I hope you can get it checked out and come up with a better solution.

It loaded in about 20 seconds on dial up for me, but I think LJ is having some problems.
