Winning and losing with lots of Wordpress plugins
I was glad to see that due to the Flickr integration, lots more of my Flickr pictures were viewed. Same can be said about the Twitter integration to the right here - simply amazing. If I was able to blog from YouTube (never seems to work) I would clearly have some amazing content-interlacing-power.
But there are some negatives as well. Primarily that the load time of the page is dramatically increased. I wonder how many people go crazy waiting for it to finish loading. In the best of worlds those people start subscribing instead - ensuring that they are free from any plugins and lagging load times.
This should be a happy middle ground though - Twitter and Flickr is good enough. Until something else cool shows up…
Update: I simply could not stand it. So I removed the Twitter sidebar widget. When they shape up, I will return it.
