The loading takes forever. Try adding a preloader to show the loading progress. Also, try to add a border to your site so separate it from the white rectangle. ---

either cut the file size drastically, or build a preloader and something to entertain the user while they wait for the movie to load. no site should take this long to load on a broadband connection, as most people will simply get bored and leave before it finishes loading. (like i did) ---

Well, it loaded for me, told me that Ray likes it (I have no idea who Ray is)… But, the images in the only section that worked, when rolled over, would overlap the other images on the increase in size… Why make them bigger if they are hidden by other images?
