I don’t know why the website has been so slow recently. I’m taking a look to see if maybe one of my plugins is dragging things down, but I don’t think I’ve got so much data that it should take this long. In short, just know that I’m trying to figure it out.
[UPDATE]
I was right. It seems to be the plugin that allows me to display my pownce notes in the sidebar. I suspect it is the fact that basically it has to query an entirely separate webpage—rss feed to pull that information across and then repost it here. I’m just turning that piece off for the time being. There is still a link to my pownce profile page under the “My Networks” portion of the page so anyone interested can go there directly. If you are very interested you can join pownce yourself and be-friend me and you’ll get updates automagically. In short—again—the page should be faster now. It won’t transcend the laws of space and time, but you won’t have to go to the bathroom either while you wait.
I know things haven’t been especially interesting around here recently, and it seems that about all I ever post is the extent and duration of my latest bike ride, and when I’m riding only once a week that isn’t saying very much.
I am going to make a concerted effort to try and get a little creative and fun again. To that effect I have decided to move the ordinary blah blah posts about how much I rode my bike to Pownce. If you monitor the sidebar you will continue to find those entries in brief form, and of course you can also always go to my Pownce profile, or who knows, even join and add me as a friend. If I have anything beyond just a flat entry about the ride then I can always still update the blog with that.
Stay tuned for the random, the unexpected, the bizarre, or just as likely, the inane. There, now I’ve said it, so I have to do it, right?
I’m trying out a new theme for Basic_B. Let me know what you think, and let me know if you discover any portions of the blog that don’t seem to be working correctly. I know that some of the pages for the now-reading plugin aren’t displaying quite right yet, but I’ll be working on that soon.
