   Hi,

   When you click from page to page on my blog, the browser goes to a dark blue for a few seconds before the theme shows correctly.

   The page background is dark blue, so I suspect it's something I'm missing in the css - any thoughts?

   Here is the body code:

   body {
   background: #01245c url(images/wrapper.jpg) top center no-repeat;
   font: normal 15px/1.5em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   color: #000;
   }

   the 'background' is the dark blue that appears.

   If I change the background to white, the outside edges of the design are white, instead of the dark blue.

   I'm not sure what else to try.

   Thanks!
   Peggy Murrah

   Perhaps it's loading the wrapper.jpg file?

   thanks for your response - the wrapper is the correct file. It's the textured sides of the blog and has the white block included with space for the posts.

   the background is what is supposed to take the outer edge of the wrapper to the edge of the browser.

   is there a way to keep the background from loading first?

   It is because it is loading the background color as a sort of place holder while your image loads.

   thanks - is there anything I can do about it other than remove it?

   If you remove the background color, it will load white before loading your image. You can try shrinking the size of your image (not necessarily how "big" it is, but the size in KB), so that it loads faster. That would probably require a reduction in quality, though.
