One of the challenges with web pages is maintaining an acceptable load time while still having enough immediately displayed content to keep your target audience interested. When I first loaded Wordpress as my preferred blogging back end and proceeded to customize the theme, load all the widgets, add a photo gallery, some advertising… you get the picture, a standard Wordpress blog, I was unaware my blog had become slooooow…..

As I sit at my desk today wondering what the hell am I doing working on Christmas day my thoughts flashed back to one of my favorite shows, Seinfeld, and the celebration called Festivus.

The tradition of Festivus begins with an aluminum pole. During Festivus, the unadorned Festivus Pole is displayed. The pole was chosen apparently in opposition to the commercialization of highly decorated Christmas trees because it is “very low-maintenance”, and also because the holiday’s patron, Frank Costanza, finds tinsel “distracting”.
