Site News: New theme, performance tweaks
Your users’ experience in terms of navigating your site should be reason enough for performance tuning a site. Users have many options when it comes to consuming content on the internet, and a slow performing website will frustrate them and send them to another site. A faster and more responsive website will keep them more engaged and focused on your content, rather than waiting for scripts and images to load.
Google+ Profile Hacks: My Profile Was Featured On Mashable!
Will you look at that… my Google+ Profile Hack was featured on Mashable! If you’re already using Google+ you can follow my Google+ Paul Spoerry profile and creep on my adventures through the Internet, get tips and tricks, as well as social media and technology updates.
Via Mashable:
It’s not just Facebook users having all the fun with photographic profile hacks, we are delighted to report that Google+ users are getting in on the action too.
Because the shiny new social networking service displays some of your photos at the top of your profile, you can tweak your scrapbook photo album for a more creative photographic display.
From landscapes to portraits via pop art, take a look through the photo gallery below for the brilliant examples we’ve come across so far. Link us in the comments to any of your Google+ profile hacks — we might just add them to the list!
To my surprise and delight, my profile made it onto the list! *take a bow*

Mobile Enabled
If you’re browsing this on a mobile phone you should have a much better experience. Yes, MOST mobile phones can view this site just fine. However, the new mobile version should load significantly faster by disabling some of the native plugins, JavaScript, etc and decrease the load time when browsing on a mobile phone. If you prefer the full blown site don’t work… just look in the footer and you can switch back to viewing the site in the normal format.
Paul Spoerry consulting site launched
Since the side work business seems to be kicking up again I decide to roll out a separate site for my consulting services. The new site can be found at http://consulting.paulspoerry.com. It’s still a bit of a work in progress but feel free to swing by and check it out.
