The logo image took a few seconds to be fully loaded over an average
broadband connection. Not surprising as it it over 1/2 a Megabyte.
For fun I resized it to 295 x 146 (same size as the one on the web
page is scaled to) the resultant file is just 14 kilobytes and
actually looks better )no jaggies) as the graphics package resize
does a better job than the browsers on the fly rescaling.


Point taken. Sorry to be dim, but how would I resize it? What software?


It's 80K on my machine. Ah, no, it's 80K on the main page, vis 0.5M on the
"www" one.

So you've already sorted it out, you just need to get rid of the "www"
version.
