iwillteachyoutoberich.com now has archives, readable fonts

17 comments — written on February 6th, 2007

After receiving approximately 16 million emails about how long my site takes to open, today I’ve switched to Wordpress with archives.

http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com should open much, much faster now. You’ll also notice a few tweaks like bigger text, easier-to-read font colors, and easier navigation between posts.

I’ll be launching a major redesign in the next few weeks, but for now, the site should be easier to use and you won’t have to squint your eyes like an 88-year-old man. If you notice any bugs, please leave a comment here and we’ll fix it.

Thanks to Richard Wu, who is a genius and can do anything with MT/Wordpress. If you’re looking for somebody to work on your blog, I highly recommend him.

[Update]: Richard and I were talking on IM:
Richard: btw, i was amused that you mentioned that i can help ppl w/ blogs…are you aware that i can do blogs because we do end to end development for large scale systems w/ massive amounts of data? =P

Oops.

I’m entering my own bug. At the bottom of a post, it says:

“DONE READING?
Now you can ” rel=”trackback”>trackback from your own site. // Both Comments and Pings are open ?> leave your own comment or subscribe to the newsletter”

Excellent, although the font could be bumped up another notch. And made darker; grey text on white background is a pain to read.

IMO, a solid underline designating links is easier to read than the way it is now. No biggie.

Thank you. Your rss feeds republished the last 9 posts, but I’ll take the one time hit for a permanently faster load time.

The nested comment plug-in might be a nice addition to encourage people to post more.

I was wondering why your homepage was suddenly loading so fast

Sheesh…the pressure’s on now.

I might have to add a photo or something.

Love the look Ramit. Almost makes up for the fact that I lost my job yesterday looking at porn. Just joking. I don’t have a job to lose.

in response to #2, hold left CTRL and roll your mouse wheel to shrink or enlarge text.

Grey on white is really REALLY hard to read. Please change it back. I have to boost my screen setting to max brightness to read anything.

WONDERFUL changes. I love it; and the load is TONS smoother. I will definitely change from being a 2x/week reader to a nearly everyday reader now that Safari no longer hiccups for 15 seconds upon loading. Thank you.

Having to reenter my name and email to leave a comment is a very reasonable price for scroll bar functionality within less than 15 seconds of starting to load.
