You may have noticed that I’ve changed the main blog page to display excerpts rather than full posts.

This was done mainly to reduce the download size and help speed up the page load time. To view the page with full posts that include pictures and sometimes quite a lot of text, it’s a large download.

The disadvantage now is that to read a full post you have to open it – click on the title. Click the mouse wheel on the post title and it will open in a new tab. Then when finished with that post just close the tab and you’re still on the main page.

The other consideration is that a long post won’t be of interest to everyone. So now you don’t have to scroll through complete posts to find one or two that may be interesting.
