 * I found the chrome pagespeed tool and I tested it out on my isoptope index page
   on your theme – my page is loading slow because of my images. The images that
   I uploaded is 640 x 640 BUT I used the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin like you 
   said to resize images so it should be using the smaller images, no?
 * Here is one of the suggested image scaling solution:
 * The following images are resized in HTML or CSS. Serving scaled images could 
   save 1.3MiB (87% reduction).

   is resized in HTML or CSS from 640×640 to 208×208. Serving a scaled image could
   save 130.2KiB (89% reduction).

 * Images are tricky. They usually carry a lot of extra info you don’t need. I like
   to use SmushIt to crunch down the image sizes before uploading.

 * Is there a way that I can make the Author’s images larger in the Simone theme?
   We just updated our blog’s theme and while overall Simone is excellent, the very
   small size of Author images seem a bit out place. Appreciate some input.

 * The author image size in the author box is set in inc/author-box.php on line 
   96. You can override the setting in a child theme.

 * The author box only goes to line 68. Am I missing something?
