Ok i just made this flash site for my portfolio....im studyin abroad in italy right now where the internet is sooo slloooooww! The site takes 4ever to load, but hopefully it isnt normally like that. Can you guys check it out to see if it works ok? And feedback would be nice too! Thanks!

Hows Italy? I'd like to go there sometime.

Anyway, Im on 256k, which is fairly slow considering Im used to working on 7mb. However, as I write this, I have been waiting for your site to load for 3 minutes and have to give up. Im no flash expert.. its not my thing, but I think you might need to optimize your files.

I'll give it another try tomorrow.. Im having trouble with my internet so ithat might be the problem.

Italys great...im in florence, which is beautiful. if u ever get a chance u should definitely come here. Neways, ya on my computer it takes about 15 seconds to load so maybe its your computer...and i am going to optimize it more, so we'll see if that works. But thanks for tryin!

Chad,

The site loaded fine for me, takes several seconds to load. The design is somewhat basic and simple. I really like the menu effects, I thought that was pretty cool.

I did find a virus on my computer this morning.. removed it and now your site seems to load a little slow, but it does load. The side is very interesting.. I agree with Jdinh04.. the menu effects are neat. The design is very simple, but it works.

Good job
