Smaller and Faster
I did some more tinkering underneath the covers to the website this weekend. It should have resulted in a slight increase in speed for you and a small bandwidth savings for me. That’s one of the fun parts about hosting your own blog. You can try things out and not worry about needing technical assistance from a M-F 8-5 support organization on a weekend. I hate waiting for “technical support” to return my emails. Right now, I’m waiting to hear from several people for simple administrative tasks regarding products I’ve purchased. It will take them minutes once they get to my request; but who knows when that will be. So, I really enjoy being able to do everything myself. It can be a nuisance to do upgrades; but otherwise it’s quite nice doing things on my own schedule.
Please let me know if the blog seems faster (or at least not slower). My informal speed tests say that pages load 10 -15% faster and are up to 25% smaller. Not a big deal; but every bit helps. Now if only I could find a way to post a full size, full length movie.

Bill McCool: 1. It seemed that way to me too. But I couldn’t tell for sure since I’m too close to the changes.
2. It is convenient being familiar with the way computes work. But I would like to have a go to guy for support on occasion. Since I do usually know what I am talking about “tech support” is even more frustrating.
