Boring survey: Is Music Thing working OK technically?

Keith writes: "Hi, I've been reading your blog for years now and took a break from the internet for about 10-12 months. I'm back on and I noticed you've redesigned the page but it loads really slow and crashes Internet Explorer for me every time. Firefox loads it fine but, again, really slowly." So... Is Music Thing working OK for you? (Click here if you can't see the form)

  • It works fine
  • It's slower than other sites
  • It won't load properly
  • I usually just read it on RSS
If you're having trouble, please give me some details. If you're a web developer, please give me some tips. Thanks! UPDATE: Based on the first handful of results, just over 10% are complaining of slow loading. I've cut the number of posts on the homepage from 20 to 10. Might also move that huge Google map. A couple of people asked whether the ads make any money. The Google ones make a bit (about £4k a year, hopefully) but the others are struggling to pay their way, so I'll look again at them. Thanks, by the way, for all the compliments.   MUSIC THING SHOP Waldorf Blofeld £349 / $699 Korg Kaoscillator £99 / $199 Moog Little Phatty £875 / $1249 Pod X3 £243 / $399
