The badge approach is definitely the way to go with these sorts of things. Anything where a sidebar has to go off to another site to build its fragment is guaranteed to make page rendering slow. Also, it's guaranteed to force the expiry time of the page down towards zero. I'm seriously thinking of setting a 'rule' sidebars should contain no content that needs to change on a schedule other than that of the blog itself - if you need something that does change more frequently, write the javascript and populate the fragment asynchronously. The catch is that there's, currently, no way to make an AJAX call to a sidebar's controller, but be assured it's something I want to be able to do. _______________________________________________ Typo-list mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/typo-list
