Website rework progress #1
November 15th, 2006
Last night I did some work on the Blue Leaves WordPress theme to get it looking more how I'd like the site to look. I redid the main header, replacing the leaves image with an image of my own keyboard (doctored in Photoshop) and the old ITauthor logo from the Plone version of the site.
However, when I did a quick check this morning in IE7 I notice it doesn't display correctly. It looks fine in Firefox 2 (my default browser) and Opera 9, but IE7 obviously has different ideas about how CSS should be interpreted.
The other very disappointing thing is just how slowly WordPress serves up pages compared to Plone and even MovableType. I'm going to have to have a look and see if I can tune up. I'm getting 25+ seconds for the initial load (which is way too long, given that the images are all pretty small), and then 12”“15 seconds after that to load a page. This compares to about 4 seconds to load a page from Plone. I'm not sure how many people would wait 25 seconds for a page to appear.
