My 2009gtr.com blog has been a bit slow to load. I have a complicated magazine style template from Simplex Blogger, and it takes a little longer than I like to load. While I had some time, I decided to look up ways to speed up the blog.
One of the first sites I came up with, had some great tips.

There were a couple of tools that you could download as attachments to Firefox to analyze your site. These two tools are Firebug and YSlow.
I installed the programs, and ran them on my site, and they gave me a few tips to try and improve page loading speed. My first impression is that the pages do seem to load a bit quicker. At least the main part of the page shows up fairly quickly, then some of the other scripts load a little slower.
At first the grade was an F. After running some of the changes recommended I got it to a D . "Overall performance score 66". Now I am going to try a few more of the recommendations, and see if I can get the page to load quicker.
