Hi all,

(Apologies in advance if this is a bit of a "newbie" question. I've been finding hosting a "proper" blog as opposed to just having a blogger one a rather steep learning curve.)

I'm finding pages slow to load on my blog, The Office Diet

It's hosted with DreamHost, and I don't think I've got especially slow-to-load content... I try to keep pictures small (ones I've uploaded, at least). But when navigating round the site, it seems more than a tad clunky.

Could something I've installed -- perhaps the social bookmarking icons -- be causing this?

Anyone using wordpress had similar problems? Ideas for plugins or similar which would help?

Thanks,

Ali
