Optimized…

Blogged on March 7, 2008 at 00:07

I spent the last few minutes optimizing my blog’s code! Should be a *lot* faster now! When I updated to WP 2.3.3 a few weeks ago, I took the chance to remove some plugins that weren’t relevant and optimize my code a little to integrate better with WP’s “new” code.

Yesterday I dumped Google Analytics, switching (at last) to Mint! I ran them both during the day today, finally removing GA tonight! I can already tell you that Mint is substantially faster, not to mention that it gives the ability to view my stats, LIVE, on my iPhone anytime! ;) (major advantage point from Google’s solution which resorts to Flash a lot). Thanks Shaun! :)

On a side note, I’ve been working on a design update… But I think I’ll make the mockups I created into a WP theme and freely distribute it instead! I’ve struck by some awesome, clean designs lately and have been gathering some inspiration for my next design. On the other hand, the current design is growing on me… :/ lol

Anyway, thought I’d share so you can give some thoughts on your user experience on this blog! Thanks in advance. :)

O mint até parece engraçado… mas pagar $30 por esse serviço parece-me um desperdicio…

I thought of the whole “Is it worth $30?” and I came to the conclusion that yes, it is! Considering that it’s a long-term license, of the plugins that it includes, the fact that it stores stats on your own database allowing you to keep a long-term history, etc… made it clear that it was worth the $30. :)
But hey, people are different, and maybe it doesn’t seem worth it to you, which is understandable! On the other hand, don’t forget that the $ is at an all time low, so it really costed me around 20€, which I think is an excellent deal, hay? ;)
