When not to use classes

WordPress has a global class that allows you to tie into just about anything.  So I was using the query function to pull my results for the map.  I was watching the load times with Firebug and decided to experiment in an effort to optimize the code.  So i took out the includes to 2 wordpress files and created my own db call without using the global class.  I shaved over 1/2 second of the load times.

I went to a local PHP Meetup Tuesday night and a Web Design Meetup Monday night.  Tonight I had to work on a freelance project I hadn’t worked on because I was working on this site.  I’ve also been working on a new design for the site.  One that will make better use of the space.  Updates in the next few days.
