As a new blogger, it's important to realize that not only Content and Design is important. There's a small thing some call Page Load time. Speaks for itself right?

Page Load time is the time it takes for users to fully load your site. No matter how good your content is or how beautifully designed your site is, it's equally important that users can see your site quickly. Some studies say that users who wait for atleast 5 seconds for a page to load is a huge turnoff. Even though they might visit your site, they might do so next time.

Allow me to share you a compiled number of tips on how to speed up your WordPress site.
Note: As what we have learned in our previous How-to articles, it's important that we make back ups of everything we are about to make changes with.

When I started making 'How-to' blog posts, I've noticed that whenever I paste in an HTML code, it gets messed up. So, I tried taking a screen shot of the code and pasting it to the blog post. But later on, I figured that it takes too long to do that.
Here's an example what I'm trying to say. If you copy and paste this code to your blog post:

 so.addVariable("tcolor", "0x333333");

 Sometimes, it would appear like this:

so.addVariable(&";tcolor&";, ";0x333333&";);

Thus, your reader's wouldn't be able to put in the correct code. Sometimes the HTML would simply appear on the way you don't want it to appear.
And yes, there is very simple solution. You'll just have to quote the HTML code. Here's how:

1. On you blog's post editor, paste your HTML code:
2. Then Select ALL of the HTML code:
3. Finally, just hit on the quote button at the top portion of your post editor.

4. Once done with the content of your post. You can either 'Preview' or 'Publish' your post. 

Hope that was helpful! If you have any questions, comments, or requests, just throw them at me and I'll be doing my best to resolve your concerns!

1. As all of the basics, login to your blogger account.

2. Go to your 'Design' tab, then click on the 'Edit HTML' sub-tab. Just to be safe, backup your
