Images can slow a site’s loading time down significantly. One way to speed things up with very little effort on your part is to install the WP Smush It plugin for WordPress. This plugin optimizes images on your blog automatically so that you don’t have to do it, and this will help everything load faster on the front end.
All of the ABDPBT blogs run on self-hosted WordPress, and use the The Thesis Theme for WordPress. As a result, many of my tutorials and tips are best utilized in WordPress and/or with the Thesis Theme. To read posts about customizing your Thesis-themed WordPress install, please look through the Thesis-Theme archives.
