Any recommendations for running a blog efficiently with posts that include images? I've cut my website down to some very basic styling, but since it's a personal blog, my picture is on the front page. That picture takes up more space than I'd like, but I feel like it's important for readers to see me on the front page. Maybe I should just remove it? But I still have a lot of blog posts that include multiple images, and I don't want to reduce them to tiny thumbnails -- they're nice photos!

IMO if you want a personal pic on your blog it could make sense to move it to your About page. For actual blog posts/other content that contains pictures, it makes sense that those take up more space than 14kb - probably nothing to worry about there. If you can, it might be good to try ensure you load the images after other aspects (CSS, HTML text content) are loaded, per the blog post. But all in all it likely isn't a big issue.
