Lastly, I spent a fair amount of time over the weekend playing with the prototype and jquery plugins for image lazy

loading. The hope is to defer the loading of images lower on the page and further back in

the top story image rotator so that other images get priority and the page loads quicker.

Yet of course, IE is a turd and breaks as you can see here. There

are tons of tweaks and settings that can be done so you dont even see the images fade in

but I have it that way just for debugging. I also spent time with the YUI stuff but that

is pretty much beyond my comprehension. Any web developers out there have good luck with

easily implementing any of these libraries?
