Extreme apologies for failing you with "the Chimp." I'm so embarrassed I could fall on my virtual sword. Was it the Google Widget version you were using on the page? I've noticed some speed issues occasionally too, but since the Google personal page widgets load in iFrames, it hasn't been a show stopper. <br><br>There are several other ways to display the Chimp-o-matic on your page if you want to give it another chance: <a href="http://chimpomatic.net/chimpOmaticInstructions.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://chimpomatic.net/chimpOmaticInstructions.aspx</a><br>If the JavaScript implementation doesn't work for you, try the Flash-based, or <a href="http://ryanrusson.com/ws/Chimpomatic/Chimp-O-matic.jpg" rel="nofollow">rotating image</a>-based Chimp-o-matic. Even if the last two methods load slowly, it won’t effect the load time of the rest of your page. If you'd like to host your own version, that can be arranged too.rrussonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629437642409739931noreply@blogger.com
