Site Update
Banner Woes
Well, I think the top banners are working out fine and no more popups are appearing. But now I've had to remove the Link Exchange banners from the bottom of the page template because Link Exchange appears to have been down for over a week and their banners were not loading, causing the page to take longer to finish loading.
If anyone knows of a really good metal/music banner exchange, drop me a line with a link to more information about it!
