tags and much more. One important aspect of SEO is having optimized page, and since I’m trying to promote my blog, I had to look at this point.
With a quick test, I realised that K2 template wasn’t optimized to give a fast result, giving many spaces between codes which makes the file size bigger.
Let’s take this for example:
I went to my Be different post, saved the page using the save as option included in any browser. I opened the page using notepad and looked for empty spaces.
File size at the beginning (no edit): 20.05 KB
File size after empty space removal (edit) : 19.85 KB
File size after Google Anaylitics removal (edit) 19.63 KB
This is 0.30 KB, not big but makes a difference for slow bandwidth users. Also, take into consideration I started with a 20.05 KB page.
0.30 KB over 20.05 equals 1.5% of “used bandwidth for code”. Make that go on a 500 KB page and you get 7.5 KB. I know that’s small gain, but it’s only one step closer to a smaller file size.
I want my pages to load in less than 2 seconds.
Then I checked at the content in my folder related to this internet file.
I had Google Analytics in my source code so I could get statistics about the users, but the file is 17.6 KB. I decided to remove this part of my code since Google Analytics wasn’t providing me the kind of statistics I was looking for (even though they are good, but I want public stats).
So far, I’ve been able to save 17.9 KB from only two modification (one that you might not be able to do though).
[NOTE] Not to my surprise, by removing both LiveSearch and AJAX comments in the K2 option panel, my speed improved greatly. LiveSearch wasn’t that important but AJAX commenting was a nice feature, but not worth the speed improvement I get from removing it.
I also started using CSS Compress. Can’t really tell how much it is efficent though. 
We love reading about new products and designs from Bombardier, mostly because besides building things like airplanes and subway cars, the privately held, Quebec-based company also builds fun stuff like Rotax karts, Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles, Bombardier ATVs, Sea-Doo sport boats and Johnson and Evinrude outboard engines. No wonder, then, that they have produced an exciting answer to the Segway Human Transporter. Like the Segway, Bombardier’s Embrio concept–a prototype that may or may not make production–uses gyroscope technology to balance riders but adds a dash of flair absent in the Segway, which we as car nuts find slightly nerdy.
The forces of the status quo—of conformity—have been strong again recently. Maybe that’s why there seems to be an upsurge in interest in self-development. When the outside world is intent on forcing you into a bland, acceptable mold, people naturally turn elsewhere to find an outlet for what matters most: their own uniqueness. There will never be anyone else like you in the future of the universe. There has never been anyone exactly like you since human life began. That’s why being yourself is more important than anything else; certainly more than the fear that traps people into conforming. Even the Bible says it. Jesus urged his followers to be like salt; to spice up the world with new ideas. He didn’t tell them to keep their heads down and do whatever their “betters” amongst the Romans and the Pharisees told them. You don’t start a new religion by fitting in. Today’s religious leaders are nearly all arch-conservatives, so we forget what radical non-conformists and agents for change people like the Buddha, Jesus and Mohammed were during their lives. Jesus wasn’t put to death for doing what the leaders of the society of his day approved of, was he?
then add this code just before
< ?php if ($adsensevar == 2){ adsense_deluxe_ads('Midpage'); $adsensevar = 0; }else{ $adsensevar++; } ?>This code will output a ad every 3 posts (but beware, google TOS says no more than 3 ads per page, so I’ve warned you). 2. In the sidebar.php just before the div class clear, add
< ?php adsense_deluxe_ads('Sidebar'); ?>This code output the ad in the sidebar 3. In single post add
< ?php adsense_deluxe_ads('Midpage'); ?>after the
< ?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/theloop.php'); ?>call. This will output the ad just before the comments and the comment box. Using ad sense deluxe (which you should have actived), create a block called MidPage (which would generally contain the code for a 468×60 banner) and a Sidebar (which contains any scrapper kind) and you’re done. Might be a bit long, but it’s easier to manage after. Ask any question if there’s a problem.
