December 2006 Notes Archive

Permanent link Excuse all the maintenance updates, but this is the last one. After finding dynamic archives painfully slow, I’ve switched back to my fast loading static archives. Comments are still slow going, but until I’m getting more than one comment every month, I can wait. :) And what makes me happier than fast loading web pages? The capability to run SmartyPants on my archives again.

Permanent link Well that wasn’t really worth it. I wanted commenting to be much faster on my entries so I thought “Hey, I should just make them dynamic in Movable Type. Then commenting will be a flash!” Not so. After putting a good deal of effort into this, I still have to rebuild my entries to see any changes on the site, the archives take several seconds longer to appear (I was aware that they would take longer, but not that much longer) and commenting is still extremely slow. Was there something flawed in my logic with this or is dynamic publishing in Movable Type way overhyped? I may just concede defeat and go back to static archives. At least they loaded blazingly fast.
