   Is there anything that I can do to reduce server load? I got like 10k hits today and my server load went through the roof (not sure if it was WordPress' fault or not).

   I've made the first page of the news cached if the user isn't logged in, but is there anything else that I can do? I'm not using the template feature either.

   Shearing some of the larger graphics down in filesize might help a bit. And the less graphics a page has, the less HTTP requests required to load it; if you can, find ways of minimizing the # of images you display.

   Use WP-Cache or equivalents. That'll lighten the load a ton.

   Graphics use isn't through the roof by any means, but anywhere you don't really need it, cut it. ;)

   You could also consider running WP as a set of static pages rather than a dynamic PHP site. There are a few plugins for this. One of the recommended plugins would be EZStatic: http://www.asymptomatic.net/_wiki/EzStatic

   Thanks. I'll look into those. :)
