I was surprised to actually find helpful information in the blogger guide. I have never really thought about how to make my blog load faster. It makes sense that blogs that load slowly won’t have as many visitors because people aren’t that patient. My main concern is with having funny content & a pretty blog that is reminiscent of wedding invitations. I try to do very basic things like not use a ton of pictures or videos on one page. I also don’t use a lot of those annoying flash games in my sidebar, but that’s mostly because they bug me.

The blogger guide suggested decreasing the number of posts that you have on your homepage. It also recommended having any CSS at the top of your page. I don’t know exactly what that means, but it sounds important. There is even a link in the article to something called stopwatch where you can put your blog’s url in & it loads things frame by frame. It took this blog 2.497 seconds to load. I have no idea if that is good or not, but it sounds awesome.
