A blog post about blog posts: Readers, I feel your pain. For many of you, this blog has been loading more slowly. At times, refreshing this blog may tie up your browser with an unresponsive script; yes, I have experienced that too, maybe even more often than you have.

Here is the game plan: first, I have reduced the size of this blog’s home page from 10 days of posts to five days of posts, thereby cutting in half the amount of text that must load when you hit refresh; second, if you receive an error message while trying to access this blog, please email it to me and I will have the tech people behind this blog’s operation (yes, they exist!) seek to eliminate it; and third, sometime early in 2015 this blog will move to a new publishing platform that may result in faster access.

Of course, this blog’s complete monthly archives can always be accessed via this link.
