One thing to consider: When you put a floor in the attic, you most likely compressed your insulation, reducing it's effectiveness. If you notice your utilities climbing, you might want to consider putting more insulation back into your attic. (ie, running insulation on the underside of the roof itself, using plastic sheeting to keep it in place) Keep in mind I'm not a professional...these are just things I've picked up here and there. I'd talk to an expert before sinking any serious money into the project.

I was also concerned about the insulation, but to add strength to the floor, I added 2x4s running the opposite direction to the joists, then laid the floor on that. This allowed enough space to keep from compressing the blown insulation. It also solved any problems with all the wires. Thanks for the feedback.
