It's not to loud. The problem is that it disturbs my pleasure listening
to the music... ;-)

I need 30 seconds up to a minute to load the page.

How many reasons?
-In FF you can add Mouse Guestures. They work by holding down the right
mouse button and move around the mouse. So a right-click is required...
-Add a bookmark to the page
-much other FF-extensions have their options available by right-click
-...
And perhaps you right-click there by mistake...

Yeah, I know you cannot. But ignore the advices of people which perhaps
have experience with websites and how to make them user-friendly? I
know, all the people here are not those who should use your page...

You need to have one at the beginning of your page and the corresponding
end-tag at the bottom of the page. But between these tags there
shouldn't be any other <html>-tag (_It's not even allowed_ to have one
there).

Which one did you use? I have not heard yet that a doctype changes the
content or look of a document anyway.
I personally would advise you to take
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
and no XHTML.

Yes, you really should. I wonder that Microsoft is still allowed to sell
FrontPage as web-editor :)
