Check Your Website Speed

For quite some time, I realised my blog is getting slower & slower. During a chat with Zalita, she suggest that I start using Firefox. And I found it a bit.. a bit.. arr.. better with Firefox, compared to IE though I still feel my blog is still slow. I do checked with other friends, and their comments : well.., nope.. I can easily accessed to your blog easily. But I still not satisfied.

Today, while bloghopping I found the answer - from Din3187 blog. He wrote here about checking your website speed using the web tool from iwebtool. If the test result shown your blog is more than 200KB, it means your website is slow and you should minimise some widgets or gadgets.

Upon checking, this is the result. My blog size is 328.31 KB, with load time 0.28 seconds. urrmmm..



So my feeling is right.. Now i must get rid some of the widgets & gadgets from my blog. Do you have any suggestions, which widgets & gadgets in my blog that I shud remove ?

For those you would like to check your website speed, you can check it here..

lotsa love from me,

Who Are You and How Did You Find Me?

Woww... it been months since my last posting in June. Since I do not have much stitching progress to show, why not I post this in my blog. At least I have something to post in my blog, rite :-)

I found this from Emily's blog, which she got it from Lody's.

I do wonder if there is anyone who reads but doesn’t post comments, I don’t mind as I do read some blogs but don’t comment as well. But it would be nice just to say hello and maybe come and read your blog as well. So who reads my blog?

1. As a comment on this post, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember! And if we’ve never met in real life, leave me a comment of your favorite post I wrote and why it was your favorite.
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It’s actually really funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I’ll assume you’re playing the game and I’ll come to your blog and leave one about you.
3. Do you read my posts from a reader, blogroll or is this your first visit?
