As I watch the blogosphere I see more and more people using Twitter.
I decided to wait a bit for jumping onto the wagon and getting an own Twitter account. So here I am, with my very own Twitter account.
I will see how much I’ll use it and if it is worth keeping it, at least for me that is 
So bear with me and feel free to give me Twitter tips or at least share your thoughts. Of course you are also welcome to follow me.
P.S: I also added a “Recent Tweet” to the sidebar using the Twitter Tools Plugin.

A few days ago Matt at Webmaster-Source and Michael at Pro Blog Design published articles about optimizing the load time of a blog and plugins to get more comments
Influenced by their articles I decided to review and optimize my own blog. Some of the mentioned plugins and optimizations I had already in use, a few I added as result of reading said articles:
You could call this some kind of heavy maintenance, so I’m now interested on some feedback. How do you like the new comment plugins? Does the site load slower or faster or did it stay the same? Any reply is much appreciated, especially feedback about the loading time of my blog 
Update:
I moved all javascript used on my site to the foot which should reduce the loading time a lot more.
Please let me know if something is now broken

For those of you who don’t visit Webmaster-Source a short information on what the hell I’m talking about in the headline:
Matt at Webmaster-Source started a new project which adds to his blog. This project is a podcast about blogging and webmastering as these podcasts are quite rare. After searching for a name and volunteers for his podcast he choose BlogCast as title.
I don’t know how many other people volunteered to be a guest in his podcast, but I do know that I received the honor to be his first guest in the pilot episode. I guess this is the right place to say thanks to Matt!
Back to the headline
It is easier and faster to quote Matt right away:
Marco of Ruelicke.net and I will be talking about a blog-related topic on the upcoming pilot episode of BlogCast. The only problem is neither of us have decided on a topic yet. 
So, here’s my question for all of you: What do you want us to talk about?
Is there something that you want to know more about? Leave a comment, and we’ll consider your idea.
Of course you are welcome to leave a comment on my blog, but it would be a little bit easier for us, if you also leave a comment at Webmaster-Source.

17-year old injured after confrontation at vocational academy
Halle/MZ/jam/Ruelicke.net
A 17 year old female student of the Blindow-Berufsakademie was seriously injured by an 20 year old male classmate after a confrontation at the private school. As police spokesman Siegfried Koch said, the victim suffered from multiple cut and stab injuries at body and face. Also, the offender has to be treated at the hospital under observation - he has taken sleeping pills additionally to alcohol, after his own statement. It is still unclear what led to the bloody confrontation.
The principal of the Blindow-Akademie heard the screams of the 17 year old girl from the corridor in the school, so the police. “As he wanted to help her, he found her lying and bleeding in front of the entrance. The offender, who was standing next to her, had a firearm and a knife in his hands” said Koch. The police reacted to the emergency call at the vocational school at 13:00 local time with a large squad. The officers were equipped with bullet prove vests and machine guns. Koch justified: “We take such emergencies very serious.”

Yet another week passed with this blog being very quiet. So let me explain why I was so lazy had no time to write any kind of article.
Happy Holidays…
…or vacations, which ever word you prefer.
This week I had vacations and I tried to enjoy them. I didn’t really succeed, but I didn’t fail either:
Originally I intended to stay away from the computer as much as possible, just to get some distance and to prove once more that I’m not computer or gaming addicted. At the end it turned out that I spent some time at the computer, mainly playing World of Warcraft and working on the homepage of Thorsten Kramer.
My vacations also helped to come up with some more ideas for articles, so stay tuned for them.
That’s all for now, I need to write some articles, if you excuse me…
Wait!
I almost forgot something:
Matt at Webmaster-Source announced that there will be a Webmaster-Source Podcast coming soon. He is currently looking for a title for said podcast and he is looking for a blogger willing to give an interview through Skype (or talk about some blogging-related subject). So have a look, maybe you are the one with the perfect name for the podcast…or you are one of those “on-air” with the podcast. (Yes, I told him I would be up for it.)
As I’m already talking about Webmaster-Source: Thanks, Matt, for having my blog on his list of “The Coolest Web Designs On The Planet“!
