Hello everybody,

I have this little, but very annoying problem that I need a hand with.

How can I prevent my blog´s homepage from loading a certain CSS image which isn´t even being used on there?

I had social bookmark links as regular image links in my single.php and created a CSS sprite image from them, but now it´s being loaded in the background even when not used.

I am sure this is something very simple, but I just can´t seem to get my head around it.

Hopefully I made at least some sense with this.

Take it out of the CSS rules

Maybe I did not explain the situation with enough detail, but I´ll try again:

I have the CSS image code in Stylesheet and php code calling it in single.php. Still the image is being loaded on my frontpage (index.php) where it isn´t being even mentioned.

How can I prevent that?

So basically your browser is downloading some random image that isn't evan on the page that it's showing? That's just strange. You probably have it mentioned somewhere else you didn't think of. How do you evan know it's being loaded by the way?

Accoring to http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ the home page loads the CSS image and it´s the second largest file on the page.

Originally I had 6 html image links which were only loaded in single post pages, I did nothing else than changed them to a one CSS image, but now it´s being loaded basically on every page.

I did not touch any other than single.php and Stylesheet, so I have hard time believing that there is a mention of it anywhere else.

I agree that this is kinda mysterious.

Well, Firebug does not seem to find that file to be loaded and I trust it more than the site that said otherwise, so I consider this problem to be solved. Thank you for your help guys.
