Yea, the site takes ages to load, and when it does it's deprived of images and styles. So it looks like crap. What's going on?

Mysterious are the ways of network routers. Apparently, the server the css and image files are on, is currently out of reach (attempt to connect will give "connection timed out" eventually). There's not much I can do for it except tell everyone to wait. If you edit your hosts file and add "w-create.com" as an alias to your localhost interface, you'll be able to browse faster, but the css and images are still unavailable.

Why do you host those files there?

I know where my HOSTS file is (I edit it to block most advertisements), but how do I do what you suggest?

Add a line to it that looks like this: 127.0.0.1 w-create.com

Thanks! That's exactly what I do to block out ad-producing domains. So what is this "w-create.com" anyway? Or will I not understand?

It's the company where I work. I'm using their server for my less-important stuff, to keep my own server running better (slow hardware blahblah).

Yes, you have instructed your computer to try loading the images&CSS from your own computer (127.0.0.1).

D'oh, I get it. Reverted, thanks.
