Thanks, Andi! I took your advice and had my blog and webpage tested. Turns out my blog, the larger of the two, loads in .8 seconds. What a relief!

@joylene Welcome! I grew up in a military family so good manners were a must! My behavior reflected on my father, so I was always at my best…for the most part. I believe in the general concept of being nice to people, so I too want a warm and hospitable environment. Everyone is welcome, including now you!

Thank you for this, Andi. I never thought to check how fast my blog uploads. I’m going off to do that now, with my fingers crossed. As for whether I’m succeeding at entertaining and inspiring my readers, I’m feeling hopeful. I’ve heard from some outstanding visitors who seem to be coming back for more. But that’s probably because my mother was a stickler for good manners. Her house was always opened to anyone, anytime. I’m trying to make my blog emanate that atmosphere. Thanks for the help.

Um, holy whoah. I am totally doing that IComLeavWe thing!

I have been having loads of conversations recently about how to find new blogs and there seems to be no efficient ways… perhaps it’s time to give this a shot!

PS I found your blog via blog catalog… I too am a French lover (and previous France liver!).
PPS That kind of made it sound like I used to be pre-foie-gras. Ummm not what I meant.

@Christina – I can help you out, I don’t want you to suffer from the same mistakes that I made which cost me a bit of money last year! I will send you an email and put together a post for others as well!

First off, 400 blogs….aaahmazing. And time consuming! I feel like I’ve barely done anything else in my life since this ICLW started because I set a goal of getting to Iron Commenter (it’s been over a year since my last IC status, so it was time)!

Anyway, great advice and much appreciated. I recently relocated my blog to a new home and am working on making it more of a “me” blog as opposed to an IF blog. But I do have a question about design, and since you mentioned it is Queen, I thought you might be able to help. I’m interested in a cute and unique design, but one that won’t require me to do much with it and will still be easy to edit my page content and whatnot (just a blogger account). I’d be willing to pay (though not a whole lot of money) to have a design customized but don’t really know where to start…any suggestions?

Thanks again for the good advice!
