Magento itself is a little slow and speeding it up is something I'm looking to do. I appreciate you commenting on the blog, but the follow up spam comments that I deleted were unnecessary. Edward,

3) site loaded a bit slow for me. im using broadband. perhaps there are some hosting optimization that u could implement (i.e. caching) or just go with a magento focused hosting provider like crucial

4) navigation is very clear and concise
5) wooden background is a nice touch

I especially like the wood grain background. For anyone interested in walking sticks or canes, your site is the bomb. Looks very clear, simple, and easy to navigate.
