YSlow Tuning

For you my visitor I have tuned my blog using YSlow. I’m up to a ‘B’ score. Sorry it still has a number of JavaScript and “cloud” features that keep it a heavy page for HTTP requests.

excerpt of .htaccess:
FileETag none

DS REST API

UPDATE: Shelly Mao has been very helpful in testing to point out gaps in documentation. This should help those interested setting up their own environments. Currently installing and configuring components for hosted development.

Making progress on the API. Two decent code updates in two weeks. Waiting for server provisioning to get new API environment so we can extend access to the community. Have 4-5 non-OT developers looking to help.
