Blog Slow To Load

I recently heard from an old blogging buddy who had not stopped by this humble weblog in several months. But one day he (in his words) "made it through." It seems he had problems getting this thing to load in his browser!

I often encounter problems with certain blogs on the entrecard network. Some of them are really great blogs by sincere bloggers, but they come brimming with graphics and outside links that sometimes FREEZE everything up! Once in awhile I just have to hit the computer's "off" switch and go through a system re-load/de-frag to get the old PC back in action.

To test the load time of your blog, use Stopwatch. Enter your blog's URL and click "Start Stopwatch." Your blog page will load in a frame with a counter at the top tracking the time it takes for all the content on the page to load. The time includes any time needed to download audio and video files displayed on your blog.
