Four seconds is good. It must be my ISP, not my host.

Good strategy, chip. I’m going to start only downloading the zero bits and not the one bits. That should make it lightning fast and I can just fill in the blanks locally.

This site takes about four seconds to load.

fwiw the DDOE site loads in about 4 seconds for me vs. 2 for j-walkblog.com.

Of course, I have the j-walk site set to only load the stuff that may interest me, so it take less time because of that. No point in loading the stuff that may not interest me.

You're not an MVP, Ross? You probably should be.

I don't know if there's a debug mode, John, but I'll see what I can find. Approximately how fast does it load for you?

Dick, this site isn't that slow for me. But one thing I've learned, when it comes to hosting, you almost always get what you pay for.

Does WordPress have a debug mode that tells you how many queries are executed to display a page?

Hey Dick,
I'm your "friend" on face book, and I'm not a MVP, don't you love me!?!? vbg!

It's a strange thing face book, you kind of collect people, and I only really look regular at the people I know on a day to day basis anyway - so whats the point of that?

Having said that it nice to see my old pals getting married and having kids and stuff, so it does have some up points!

Let see how you get on -are you still twittering?

It’s nice because you get an email notification when someone comments on the same post. You can come back to the conversation quicker, instead of having to keep checking the site (or the feed) to see if there’s any activity. And you can always unsubscribe.
