Oops

Lately, A Family Guy has been taking an abnormally long time to load. It was even noticeable on my connection, so I am sure that it was even more noticeable on dial-up or DSL. I have been trying to figure it out for a week or so, and have done everything from optimizing my CSS(link) (Cascading Style Sheets) to removing images. There is really no way that I can cut down on my script size, as it is part of the WordPress core, but that has never been a problem in the past.

I got the idea in my head that it may be a latent incompatibility issue with one of the older plug-ins and WordPress 2.0, so I went about clearing out plug-ins. I have not used many of these in a long time, and others I just do nut use with the current theme. Along the way I accidentally deleted a necessary file. I did not notice this at first, but I was quite dismayed when I realized what I ad done.

Anyway, if you were one of the eight people that attempted to view this site, sorry.

I am thinking that it may be one of the scripts from Measure Map, as this does not seem to happen when I remove the main script. Does anyone else have any ideas on why the page load may be stalling?

Where’s Home?

OK, why did no one tell me that I forgot to link the header to the root of the site when I put the new header image?

Measure Maps

I am always looking to try something new when it comes to this site. My latest trial is Measure Map, a site statistics tool. There is a screen shot below.

Measure Map

Hopefully I will get some more time to play with it today. So far, I like the user interface, and it seems to be more attuned to blogging than my current statistics counter.

Design Ideas

Beth has decided that the site is too plain. I am therefore going to do a grand redesign, most likely abandoning the Kubrick style pages I have plagiarized used as a model and inspiration for so long.

My current theme was inspired by the fact that I had no ideas for a new design. I am still in the same boat. Does anyone have any good ideas for a redesign?

Gallery Updates

I have found a new interest in Gallery. I have abandoned Simple Gallery, and given up to the fact that Gallery will never fit inside a WordPress template.
