Sunset in Emerald, a town in Central Queensland, Australia. Emerald is a service town for a large number of industries in the area, especially coal mining and cotton growing. The train line that runs through the town is an important asset and vital link. Hi-res version: www.mandar-marathe.com/gallery/photo/141-sunset-emerald-mandar-marathe.html

[Off-topic] WP-Compress-HTML available

Less than a week since starting with WordPress, I have created a new WordPress plugin!

I have called it WP-Compress-HTML. What it does is it strips out all the white space from your HTML file before it is served. This reduces the filesize by about 5-10%. Doesn’t sound all that much maybe, but on a busy server this can all add up.

You can download the pluging from the WP-Compress-HTML page on my website

Please give it a try and see what you think. If you look at the source code of the resulting HTML file, it will tell you how much it has been able to compress the file by.

[Off-topic] New blogs

I have setup a couple of new blogs. Please visit them if you are interested in the subject matter.

1) My photography blog at my main website, Mandar-Marathe.com. I hope to use this blog site to add more information about my photography and my photos than what is possible here.

2) EMEDology.com, an Emergency Medicine blog site.
