August 26, 2004 at 1:24PM Linklog uses a pilcrow now.

Just to make it like all the other linklogs out there, I’ve changed the permalink marker on my linklogs to be a pilcrow rather than a hash. That should keep some people happy.

I’m after plugging in code to show how long it takes for paged to be generated. The results are worrying: the blog frontpage take a second and a half! That’s at least partly down the the weird query I use for generating it without needing subqueries. I can, however, speed things up a little by caching the resultsets.

I’ve a tag that I haven’t used yet called <CF_CACHECONTENT>. It allows caching of a lump of content, only regenerating it when the cache is invalidated or it times out. Soon as I dig it up, I’m going plugging it into the site. It should clear up much of the speed problems the site has.

Next: put a blogroll listing on the weblog sidebar, like with the archive and linklog.

Oh, and welcome back, Karlin!
