can i have a site review please

[fabar]

Hi my site is pretty new and I was hoping for some feedback.
Can you tell me how long it takes to load - worried about the buttons at the side.
Also does anyone have opera or safari? I am hoping it looks ok in those browsers.

Site loaded just fine for me (firefox) - quickly... Site looks good and informative for your targeted audience... I'd focus on monetizing each page (call to action).

Loaded fine for me. Pokerstars button link is wrong, goes to a 404 URL.

thanks - will have to change that - a couple of links are wrong - also using kompozer which is great but doesn't spell check!

Nice

Personally I'd put a nofollow on the "contact us" link. I'd also take out the link to pokerlistings in the resource position. Works fine in Safari and Firefox on iMac. You can also check other browsers using http://browsershots.org/

About the buttons, if you want the rollover to be faster you should do sprites, and that is having all the images in one image, less http requests faster loading time.

In Opera the box beneath "Daily Poker Tips" stays blank when I load the site. The buttons and the rest of the site work fine. Using Opera 9.64 by the way.
