We have another new feature in the LGF Blog Engine today; nothing insanely cool like the ‘new comments’ Ajax button, but very useful to keep the front page loading fast, and minimize our bandwidth usage.

As you probably guessed if you clicked the link on the front page, the new feature lets us split a post into a ‘teaser’ and a main entry. The ‘teaser’ section displays on the front page, and in the monthly archives, with a link to the individual entry page where you’ll find the complete post.

This lets us put all the bandwidth hogs, like images and video, on the individual entry page only, and keep the front page lean and light on its feet. This is the first public test of the feature, and also an inevitable open thread…
