See, I have no idea what that means! And what is ***********?

hahah - sorry I guess it's a bit technical.

the ******* is j a v a s c r i p t ( the forum automagically deletes it in case I'm trying to hack it)

Basically what I mean is copy all of your css styles in the head of you template pages and paste them into a new external css file. Name it something like "styles.css" and replace with the following code:
Code:
{link href="/css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" /}
replace the curly brackets with "<" (again the forum thinks I'm trying to hack it if I use real code )

External css will speed it up quite a lot and google loves it.
