    Jeremy, I have a question about my blog site. When I wrote my first blog, I guess I accidentally put the title of my subject where my name should be. How can I fix that? Marty Mossa

    great video – is there somewhere a text-document from his statements about caching and so on?

    In the video I recommend temporary content caching with get_option and update_option. I’ve since learned about the Transients system. If you need to cache data in the options table please use that instead: http://codex.wordpress.org/Transients_API

    Thanks for this Jeremy. I’m kinda new to wordpress and have been looking for optimisation techniques for a while. Great advice!
