As the Israelis prepare for war, and Bloomberg tries to decide whether to spoil the election for the Republicans… as Google tries to have its fortune cookie and eat it too… while the Senate tries to keep the flames of xenophobia brightly lit along our southern border, I have been futzing around with WordPress trying to correct a problem that is probably Godaddy’s.
If you have a broadband connection, or what passes for one in the US of monopolistic practices in restraint of trade, then this site should load reasonably fast. On Thursday I ran into performance issues. I hadn’t changed anything, so I was hacked or my database provider was blowing it. I chose to believe the latter. Today I reviewed all the code in my theme files and couldn’t see a reason fro the slow-down, but after backing up and upgrading, things seem a little faster. Or do they?

It seems a lot speedier to me compared to two days ago. Well tweaked.
It’s definitely loading faster, Franklin. Although I like the new banner, I was hoping for some naked broads. Nothing too high-def, just some vintage black and white will do.
Maybe slightly faster, but then, I was not seeing any sluggishness before. I’m running close to 3 Mbps.
I like the new 3 column look — very clean and wide open, screen filling. I like interfaces that use the entire screen without getting cluttered and junky. The Archives and About buttons go nowhere, but you knew that.
Did you upgrade to the new 2.2.1 yet? I have not. Been waiting for Dreamhost to put it up on their 1-click install list, and it is there now, so I gots to find the 2 minutes it will take to do it.
Tree, you old lech. I have some 19th century postcards you might enjoy. Sepia toned and hairy. None of this bikini wax stuff.
Winston, this is 2.2.1. I have to move it to Dreamhost just for my own political peace of mind. But that’s one of those chores that always takes a back seat to rough housing with the dog and so forth.
Thanks for the feedback Allan. The typo in your name caused the comment to be dumped into moderation.
Start scanning, you old dog.
Loads as normal, fp, mebbe a touch faster. i have a broad sansabelt connex, fwiw.
Loads much better for me, thank you very much.
