Through further examination and discussion, while the code does need revamping, the issue appears to be the counter code and its host site, which is down.

Just a note that if you're not willing to do it, why would you expect that someone else is willing to slog through it on your behalf when the problem is the coding in the first place?

It's hanging on your urls not being encoded, & instead of &.

You are specifying that the code is XHTML, but you have a number of tags open (img and meta specifically).

You have <script ..> and </script> <-- those tags don't match so it's slowing down because it thinks a script is open still.

VALIDATE, VALIDATE, VALIDATE. It will save you a world of trouble.

... The code is massively bloated and redundant. I can barely figure it out. You may want to clean up that code (a lot) and then ask. It's asking quite a lot for someone to dig through that by hand.

<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">

Don't use FP, eh? It's just not up to the task. Look at validating your code and go through it with a text editor. You'll shrink that code up easily.

With a site that is most likely going to be very graphics heavy, the slimmer the code, the better.
