It actually made me some money, but I’ve finally had to remove it from here, unfortunately. Too bad, because I liked knowing where the cheap gas was locally.

I reckon I may have to get rid of WidgetBucks. The little that I did make they took off me and it isn’t really doing anything so i reckon I can utilize that space with something else.

Peter, I’ve never even entertained the idea of Entrecard. I’ve always thought it looked like way too much work.

You know, Yan, the funny thing is that if I’d thought back I’d have remembered that’s why I’d switched all of my Commission Junction ads on another site from javascript to HTML, because it was slowing them down back at the time. I wish more of these companies would give you two choices. I guess it’s something else we’ll all have to make our choices about, since it’s hard to totally get rid of it.

Well, the same thing I did mention to you months ago, Peter. Take away as much widgets as you can from your blog. Unless it’s converting clicks into cash, if not, seal its fate…;)

I was about to give Entrecard another chance. I guess Yan’s comment sealed its fate.

It’s true, Mitch…those widgets are notoriously slowing down your site’s loading time. It’s one of the reasons I took Entrecard off my blog. In this case, less is always more.

I hope you can figure out your issues, Peter, but at least, for now, the rest of us can see your site.

As for me, I’ve just added one of my Widget Bucks things again, putting it into its own “widget”, so to speak, and it seems to be working just fine now. At least, it’s working fine for me.

Hi Mitch,
Sometimes I do have this problem too whenever I load a new widget. Also I noticed IE behaves very differently from FF (that’s why I seldom use it) especially with loading pictures. Sometimes it messes things up and I have to reduce the size just so it shows up in IE. Currently I’m having some problem possibly with my ISP, not blog. My blog’s logo and banner ads (only those hosted by me)are not showing). Could you do me a favor. Go to my blog and see if you are able to view the logo and banner ads.

Thanks Mitch
Peter Lee

Well, for the moment, I’ve taken Widget Bucks totally off the blog. I have no idea why it’s running like this, though; it’s not messing with anyone else’s blog that’s running it right now.
