  You have a ton of pictures – try using the “More” tag so not so many pictures are displayed for each Post on the front page or put fewer Posts on the front page.

  I agree with auxclass it’s the size and number of images on your blog that are creating slow page loading time.
  1. You can display insert “the more tag” into your posts. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
  2. And/or you can display thumbnail sized images in posts and when readers click them they can view them at full size.
  3. And/or you can also reduce the number of posts appearing on your front page. > Settings > Reading

  PS – if you upload and put the pictures into a Gallery then they will be displayed as a thumbnail automatically and the full size will be shown when a visitor clicks on a picture.
