Slow Blog Loading Time

I've been working at getting this blog to load faster. Unfortunately, I've had to delete some of the features that I had installed on the blog--but I think, over all, readers will appreciate the faster loading time. I know for myself that I dislike pages that take forever to reveal their contents.

For blogging tips, I've moved relevant links over to Make a Living From Your Computer and will include any blogging-related material over at that blog, as I've simply run out of room at Write and Earn a Living.

I think this is the better scenario because this blog is for freelance writers. While many of us are bloggers, too, I think readers will be better served with this change. At the same time, I will still share blogging insights over at the other pages.

I recently did an analysis of this blog and found I had exceeded the recommended number of URL's, which might explain why I've been plagued with slow page loading times.

I also learned I had exceeded size limits. Huh! That was news to me!

How did I learn this? I went to Submit Express and typed in my URL in the Meta Tags Analyzer section

So, if you see items disappearing from this blog, it is a necessary adjustment to improve functionality. I guess I was a tad too zealous in trying to offer helpful info. to readers.

I'll keep making adjustments until I get it to where I want it to be--but at least, I now know what has been causing the problems.
