Starting in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US" title="US"&gt;America&lt;/a&gt;, it has become a common expression of relief at the end of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_week" title="Work week"&gt;work week&lt;/a&gt; and anticipation of relaxing or partying over the weekend. The phrase was further popularised by the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978" title="1978"&gt;1978&lt;/a&gt; movie starring &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Summer" title="Donna Summer"&gt;Donna Summer&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thank_God_It%27s_Friday" title="Thank God It's Friday"&gt;Thank God It's Friday&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.

The time to load was similar to sites that use all Flash for their webpages. I have modified the code quite extensively along with customizing some of the pictures. More work needs to be done to squeeze more time off the loading clock. For an example of how long the template takes to load click on this &lt;a href="http://fridays.ws/tgi.htm"&gt;TGI Template&lt;/a&gt;. At a 56k dial-up speed it was taking 88 seconds to load.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are still more features that I want to integrate into this website along with more tweaking of some of the other pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's The Short Friday's TGI Wrap-up&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James A.
