These are all good points that I knew when I hastily pushed the site last week. Still way under 1000kb!

Also, I said my blog, but serves me right I guess ;-)

The average Web page now does more than the average Doom install, I don't see the relevance of this.

Although I get really annoyed when I visit a blog post whose page is 100x larger than Dostoevsky's novels in .txt format. On my blog (https://pljns.com/blog/), JQuery and genericons are often my largest file transfers, but I still clock under 500kb.

Parse's advantage was not only convenience but multiplatform.

You're right, thanks for the criticism. I'm experimenting with blogging, and I've learned my posts need to be even more substantive.

I didn't suspect so much traffic, we're back up now :)
I look forward to hearing my grandkids saying this in disbelief, to which I respond, "No, really, we carted around a massive tank of highly flammable liquid. To make matters worse, we actually steered vehicles ourselves."
