First things: fix the Grade F stuff:

* Make fewer HTTP requests
This page has 13 external Javascript scripts. Try combining them into one.
This page has 5 external stylesheets. Try combining them into one.

* Put JavaScript at bottom
There are 11 Javacript scriptss found in the head of the document

* Add Expires headers
There are 23 static components without a far-future expiration date.

* Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
There are 23 static components that are not on CDN.

Implemented:
- django-compress for compressing and putting together CSS and JS files
- expires for all static files in Apache
- gzip compression in apache and django (if not requested by the client) turned on
