@vladinati, Thanks, I really like this look a lot better than the one before. Much cleaner.

Josh, two questions for ya:

1. Do you think it’s the template that is causing load lag? (btw, it’s not slow for me either)
and
2. Can you do a post on the value of Entrecard? I am a participant, but have really let it go in the last couple of months because I wasn’t seeing much quality traffic. A lot of drive by droppers. I have had a much greater subscriber rate, for example, just by writing more, and creating better content. That said, I haven’t really done any significant dropping for a couple of months, and I know things have improved.

Is entrecard really worth the time?

Thanks!

Thanks for stopping by the other day. I hadn’t commented in a while, but I had been lurking in the background

JK, I’m not a stalker.

Anyways, congrats on the new domain let us know what you decide to do with it. I do have a couple of ideas if you’re stuck.

I have Sez-Who on all three of my blogs running WP 2.5 and none of them seem laggy to me. I won’t be converting to 2.6 for at least another week or two just to be safe about plug-ins and such.

I’ve also installed the SezWho plug-in on my 4 blogs It hasn’t seemed to make any difference in anything except now I get these annoying approve message emails when I have it set to automatically let everything through.

I wouldn’t go to godaddy unless my life depended on it or someone was giving me a million dollars to go through all the hassle, then it could be worth it, lol. They are not even the cheapest, so I don’t know why anyone uses them.

@Ben I agree that Sez-Who is laggy and buggy but I think it might be to early to tell if the partnership is good or bad yet. Maybe they will work together to provide an excellent product down the road to hard to tell.

I have seen no benefit from the SezWho/EC Partnership so far and SezWho is laggy and buggy. Benjamins last blog post..AOL Spammer recieves 30 month federal prison sentence

@lala I am glad it is loading quickly for you and hope that I can maintain that load time or better in the future.

@Caroline I cant say enough about backup files (lifesaver is right). As for suggestions for load times I would check out this site and see where the slow loading is taking place http://tools.pingdom.com/ and try to fix or adjust the slow areas.

@Graham That is a total bummer you weren’t able to get any .me domains the lady I talked to at GoDaddy said I was pretty lucky to get joshing.me since I didnt try until about two and half hours after it opened for sale.

I also did an upgrade on my blog (Blogger) recently. Your backup file is really a lifesaver! I forgot a couple of “things” I had added to my template and it would have been some work recreating them if I didn’t have the backup.

I have seen really slow load times since adding Digg and SezWho…so I am in the same boat as you. Any suggestions are appreciated!
