Michael S says:
too back your mylogblog.com connection is a dog, it has been taking about ten seconds to get past that when loading your site. Maybe you should retire that or turn it off till whatever the issue is, is fixed?
Alvin Ashcraft says:
I haven’t noticed that kind of delay, but I’ve removed the script. Thanks for the feedback!
Michael S says:
Thanks Alvin. The front page loads fast now, but at least for me, the pages for individual dates still have that script running and the delay is still there. I wonder why I see the delay and you don’t? It’s making the captcha failures even more painful than usual .
And thanks for your blog, it’s a great asset.
Alvin Ashcraft says:
Found and fixed. Thanks again, Michael. I also added Google +1 buttons to each individual post page.
