Hey guys,

I've got a wordpress site and already did a bunch of stuff to it to speed it up, but it's still media heavy so I'm not sure what else I can do.

The site

Here is what I did:
-Saved images for web and in lower res
-Installed site-speed optim. plugin
-Turned off pre-loader

Here is what I still need to figure out:
-My theme seems to load full images from podcast episodes on the front page instead of thumbnails, and there is not theme setting that I know of to change this (I'm using Mercurial theme)

Anything else I can do? Right now the loading time is 3 seconds (down from a whopping 9 seconds), I'd like to improve that.

P.S. I don't know css/php, but have been using Wordpress for years.
