A quick FYI to readers of my blog.  Earlier today I disabled one of the WordPress plugins I’ve been using for a number of weeks: Alex King’s Twitter Tools.

While I love the plugin because it allows me to show my recent tweets in my blog’s sidebar, I had to disable the plugin because it was slowing down the WordPress administrative panel.  While I don’t know for certain, I’m guessing it wasn’t really the plugin, but instead some of Twitter’s service problems, as I think the plugin was trying to connect to my Twitter account.

I’m going to try re-activating the plugin every few days to see if the problem resolves itself.
