2nd question. Could you program Kraken to include the size of the image? When I don’t have image sizes with my images, Google PageSpeed Insights docks me because it apparently takes longer to download an image when its dimensions aren’t included.

Right now, to include the dimensions. I’d have to deactivate Kraken, upload the image, then activate Kraken, upload the image again, put the image into my page and then go to TEXT and add the sizes from the Not-Kraken image…

That’s a process… so it would be great if you could program in this feature.

Hi CrouchingBruin 🙂

I’m moving my pages from Yahoo to WordPress. It’s taking pretty long.

Quite a few people go to my Yahoo home page. Very few go to some of the pages I’ve yet to recreate in WordPress. Maybe a hundred… so it will take maybe two months.

I’d like the people who go to the frequently visited homepage to go to my WordPress site, instead.

I’d like people who go, if infrequently, to the pages that will take me some time to complete moving, to still be able to go to them…

I’ve figured out how to do a 301 Redirect. Or maybe you told me. In any case, it works. 🙂 Happily. 🙂

Good Morning CrouchingBruin,
Sigh. The technical side of websites is very nearly overwhelming.

Yesterday when the fellow on Twitter showed me a picture from my site, compressed by way of blurring background to the main image, I saw that it was identical, or nearly so, to the actual images on my most visited page.

I worked really hard redoing all those images to have as much definition as possible, and I disabled “ShmushIt” so that the full detail of the images would be retained.

But, somehow the images were “compressed”.

I don’t worry about this because of the income from my Google AdSense ads, but because if Google doesn’t like my pages it drops my pages in search results.

My pages regarding vitamin B12 are different from the majority. Sigh. For years I didn’t use AdSense despite being major poor. Mostly they advertised the kind of vitamin B12 that is least costly to produce and least effective.

Now I use AdSense and I love having an extra $30 or $50 a month. My social security is less than $700, so the income is useful. I hope to grow it.

But, my main concern is that my pages be easily found by people who could benefit from the information. When people write to me about my pages they usually say that they’d looked at a lot of pages and then found mine, and mine were actually helpful. They say they began using the information and their health improved. That kind of thing.

Is the php of my site different from the CSS files you help me with? A different man on Twitter said he was able to do everything he needed with WP by adapting the php.

Thank you for telling me my site narrows when you try it. I’m going to stop worrying about that, now. 🙂 Thank YOU.

Well, best I get to it…

Hi CrouchingBruin,
It took me a few days to do it. I had a Scheduling Conference thing in Wells Fargo’s foreclosure, that weirded me out. Sigh. I am, once again, however, cautiously hopeful. 🙂

Okay, so, I added the rule. I haven’t tested each site yet, to see if they go small the way they used to.

But, today an old problem in this area has again arisen.

PageSpeed says: Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content

A guy on twitter who professes to Know… a lot if not ALL. says:
On the server-install version of WordPress (.org) you can definitely defer js load time.

So I called WPEssential… and the tech said he’d ask “upper tier”. He came back and said Yes, I could change the php coding…

LOL. I don’t think I could effectively change the coding b/c of the horrible error rate I have when I do things that require absolutely correct details.

What do you think? Have you done the “eliminate render-blocking java script” thing on your sites????

Hi CrouchingBruin,
Happy Thanksgiving!

I just tested my pages, and although I thought they would properly respond now that I removed the Google ad that was too long, when I try to close my browser to the size of a small mobile device, it won’t go. It seems now to be set at the larger mobile screen size.

Some time ago I could close my browser to see how a page would look on a small mobile device.

Have you noticed that? In your pages????

Happiness!!!

For one thing, It’s always happy making to see you!

Second… Thank you. I did not get that at all. I’ll go fix it immediately.

Thank you!

Karen

(I hope things are all happy)

And, WP is showing that the Referrer is Twitter….

So, it apparently takes all those things. A computer restart so GIMP starts fresh. Then selection the color before opening the text tool… etc. Whew.
