Remember, while I do abuse Plugins on my personal blogs, I'm on <a href="http://WordPress.com">WordPress.com</a>. I can't TOUCH WordPress Plugins there. They won't let me. They know I'm bad. :P Great article and advice, my friend, on streamlining the bandwidth. Ajax and JavaScript, with or without Plugins, is also a killer, especially if these things load BEFORE the content. I'm finding a lot of people who want to incorporate full video players into their blogs to play images and sounds. Really, why bother? It just adds more load to the page. With the world moving towards the mobile web, we have to take bandwidth into serious consideration that goes way beyond trying to honor those still on dial-up. The mobile web has a long way to go to catch up with land-line and cable speeds. We have to design nice for those bloggers and web users on the road. :DSpeaking of which, you may get two copies of this comment. Disquis' Ajax spun and spun for over five minutes and still hasn't done anything. I reloaded the page and am trying a second time. While it's a neat feature, I'm finding it slows down loading and commenting tremendously. EXCUSE ME! Remember, while I do abuse Plugins on my personal blogs, I'm on WordPress.com.
