iwillteachyoutoberich.com now has archives, readable fonts

February 6, 2007 · 17 comments

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.

1 Ramit Sethi February 6, 2007 at 8:20 am: 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”
2 Dan February 6, 2007 at 8:32 am: Excellent, although the font could be bumped up another notch. And made darker; grey text on white background is a pain to read.
3 Josh February 6, 2007 at 8:41 am: IMO, a solid underline designating links is easier to read than the way it is now. No biggie.
4 The Financial Ladder February 6, 2007 at 9:32 am: NOW, you’re the coolest person in the world…
5 Hawk February 6, 2007 at 9:51 am: I love this. It’s just like it was, except better! The way upgrades should always be….
6 Brian February 6, 2007 at 10:25 am: 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.
7 Flexo February 6, 2007 at 12:31 pm: Nice improvements, Ramit!
8 1mil February 6, 2007 at 12:39 pm: Ah, everyone bows down to the WordPress machine at some point in their blogspan! Woo hoo!

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.

12 Jasonn February 6, 2007 at 6:30 pm: As a longtime reader of this site, let me say:

Thank you, Ramit!
13 ade February 6, 2007 at 9:01 pm: Well, it sure helps my eyes
14 Jeffrey Wong February 6, 2007 at 9:50 pm: 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.
15 Mark February 7, 2007 at 6:46 am: Improves the user experience greatly!
16 JW February 7, 2007 at 4:59 pm: 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.
17 Spencer February 7, 2007 at 5:27 pm: 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.
