Stopwatch & Blog Optimization

One of my perceived problems with this blog has been that it does take a rather long time to load. When I tried to time the page-load using Stopwatch, it returned a dismal 14.42 seconds - quite a lot! Looking up Blogger's tips, I could figure out an immediate change - rearranging the widgets in the sidebar.

2 minutes with the layout editor, and my custom html was moved to the bottom of the list, with the delivered Google Widgets on the top.

Once again, Stopwatch was run, and it said 2 seconds. That was too much (reduction) for my comfort, so I closed the browser window, reopened it, and tried it again. The result - a respectable 5.75 seconds.

Just a little time spent, such a vast difference... I hope you like the improvement!
