How To

Viewing Pictures on a Blog

I’m intrigued by the post.  I want to see the neat birthday cake little Missy made or the art project Jr. put together.  But when I look at the picture all I see is a wall, a top of a head (yes, even though it’s precious little jr.’s head I still want to see his face 🙂 ) or the sky. 

So, recently I wrote our Blog Hoster and asked why??  Here is what he said.

"My only guess with the pictures not showing up all the way is that it’s because there are so many.  I was able to see everything just fine, but the number of images on that particular blog is rather large.  Some browsers will time out after awhile, so I’m guessing that yours is timing out before everything can load, so only parts of the pictures load.  It’s probably sometimes yes, sometimes no, depending on the server load at the time you try – everything will load slower when the server is busy.  I’m not sure what to do about the problem other than to check your browser settings to see if you can lengthen the time it will work before timing out.  That blogger should probably have less posts per page.   We are upgrading to a better server and it should make things load faster in general once that’s done."

I personally don’t know how to change my browser settings.  If you do, and would like to share with the rest of us how, please leave a comment.

Since I do like to post quite a few pictuers, I’m going to shorten how many entries I have on each page, and hope that it will solve any problems others might have seeing pictures here.

Count me in as one of those who doesn’t have a clue about computers.  If you’re in the same boat as me maybe you’ll find this information useful.

    I went ahead and took his advice and changed the number of entries that load up on a page at one time down from 20 to 10. See if that makes a difference for you.

    I shortened the number of posts I have listed on my blog, so perhaps that will help. I'm e-mailing HSB because I'm not getting an e-mail whenever I get a comment like I'm supposed to. So, some comments go unanswered for awhile until I notice that they're there. 🙂

    StitchNchick left a comment saying that she was blogging again. Yeah! She also said her Mom suffered a massive stroke last Sunday but is recovering. I'm happy to see her back.

    We're still part of the yahoo groups, but I've been so busy around here that I haven't checked them for a few days. Sounds like I need to! Thanks for letting me know they talked about the other SW's.
