Added New Logo

Since I moved my blog from Blogger.com to this new site, I kept twisting it almost every day. First was the theme, then the plugins. Last night, I successfully replaced the default Wordpress logo (the one came with the package) with this new one. I have attempted a couple of times before by searching "logo" in the Wordpress documents, but nothing really turned out to be helpful. Apparently, what I should be searching is not "logo" but "favicon" instead. I found this term when I Googled "change website logo in address bar." Isn't that easy?

So I knew what I should be looking for, I returned to Wordpress and searched "favicon" which led me to this site， where I loaded a picture and by clicking a button， I got a logo! Isn't that easy?

Now the problem is, if you don't know what it is, there is no way you can to tell what it is. It's a picture of a Chinese dragon I found some time ago on internet. I like this picture because it's quite unique and just from the picture, you can associate it with China and me.

While looking good as a picture, it isn't as good for a logo when it is shrunk to 16×16. It looks more like a red dot than a dragon. When I look at other sites, the logos are all very simple and that makes sure everybody knows what they are even at a very small size. Well, I'll continue to use it until I can find a better one, or design my own. 

In addition to logo, there are a couple of other issues remaining, but the one that bothers me most is that my page seems taking too long to load. I checked the time, the average is 7 or 8 seconds, but sometimes more 10 seconds and that's not rare. I know there must be something wrong, but didn't figure out what it is yet. Maybe I should cut some links that requires connetions to other sites.
