I've installed the "This Next" widget...


I have put the "This Next" widget/badge on my blog. In principal it's a good idea but the script dramatically slowed down Sitestuff.
This is no good!
What to do...
I like the idea behind the widget/badge but it think "This Next" needs to offer other widgets that don't suck bandwidth.
I suppose I could grab the FEED for my "This Next" favorites and drop it into one of the cookin' RSS box widgets found in the links on the right...hmmm...

Instead, I went to my "ThisNext" account and unchecked most of the widget/badge options. This boosted the speed alot...Now I won't complain about it anymore. But I still like the idea of offering other widget/badge options.

Secret option #3 I dropped the code into a Google pages page. This has less effect on the performance of SiteStuff
