Web Site Optimization review. Smart people have said nice things about "Speed Up Your Site". I have not read the book, but the markup on the book's companion site is impressively optimized. (356 words) [dive into mark]

The postings were interesting but not too useful. I cannot get thrilled with a recomendation to save three bytes by omitting "www" in links. I have routinely increased jpeg compression in image files on websites I have worked on. This one fix saves ten to twenty thousand bytes and I cannot see the difference between the compressed and non-compressed image. It is my personal preference but I prefer to keep sites simple. I prefer compatibility with standards/browsers and code readibility to minor increases in download speed.

Is seeing the Iraqi weather report funny to you? Today I saw the Iraqi weather report on television for the first time and couldn't help but laugh. It was sandwiched between the traffic report and the local weather forecast. I guess inquiring minds want to know!
