I know this is an older review but i have two questions.

why is it sooooo hard to give up all of those widgets? You have the most useless widgets I have ever seen!

“Some badges and stuff” “Hidden Badges” can be completely removed. You dont need ANY of those.. and the “social network” can be cut down to one link to your twitter, facebook, or other account. No one needs to see EVERYTHING you posted..

Also, yes, the theme is not good for your topic. One thing you have to remember is on the internet, you are not writing for you. If you were, it would be private. I am a techy person, and looking at the theme turns my stomach (personally i hated it BEFORE it was over used) and if you want people to enjoy your content, they have to enjoy looking at it.

I know Ben, However, I don’t have the illusion that so many people will visit my site that the bottleneck will really cause problems. Note that the site loads in half a minute, so without too many problems I could support two people a minute, 120 an hour or a maximum of 2880 a day (if they spread nicely). well, That’s not going to happen, is it?

Still seems to be very slow. The main issue I can see is that a slow uplink creates a bottleneck. Imagine if a few people try to access your site at the same time, can your connection handle that? How many people could access the site before it became a major problem? Ben Barden - Blog Tipss last blog post..10 types of blog: Can you spot yours?

How to submit my site for review. In fact how to get in the queue to get reviewed.

With words like that, your spelling checker must go bonkers….. I’ll take it as a compliment though….

In fact some of the speed improvement (or lessening of the slowness???) was realized by optimizing my apache configuration which I could never do on a hosted site…..

so was I about two years ago. But because of the very annoying slowness of FF I moved to k-meleon first (which uses the same engine, so supports all sites FF supports) and when Chrome came, I was hooked very quickly. My move to K-meleon helped me get over the lack of extra functions and plugins in FF, Chrome added even more speed (and even k-meleon was fast).

I only fire-up FF when I want do use very specific plugins (like downthemall).

Oh, and to address the EC issue, I have no control over the their widget. I’ve noticed problems with it loading at many blogs, unfortunately, not just mine.
