Head Coffin

It’s weird typing this from a keyboard instead of my phone. I’m so used to trying to find a mobile blogging client that I haven’t used this feature in a very long time.

While trying to fix/improve things I made a couple of changes to the site in hopes of speeding things up. The real test will be when Rachel
views the site and continues to complain about how “slow” it is.

These are not any spiffy improvements mind you so no need to get overly excited about it.

1. Lowered Thumbnail size and quality, dropping them to about 30Kb instead of 60. This still is to high if you ask me and will be messing with this further.
2. Lowered fullsize image size to 640×480 and also dropped the quality a bit, this reduced images from 700kb to about 60-80… That I can live with
3. Fixed the link to the phone blog that had the speed sign limit, was linking to the full sized image just resized, so all of it would have to load, another 800kb just to view, that should be fixed.
4. Spelled Cereal correctly

So the big problem’s been how these mobile clients handle image updates. I haven’t found a good solution and it will probably come down to re-editing posts or saving as drafts to update. Also tweaked around the recent comments style and added a reply/quote functionality to comments.
