Technical Issues: Slow-Loading Blog
July 26th 2011 05:27
My Sincere Apologies!
I really must apologize for how slowly my blog has been loading lately! I'm sure it's been just as frustrating for you as it has for me -- if not more so! I've been doing a bit of investigating/experimenting today to try to figure out what's causing the problem, but so far no luck.
You may notice that I've removed a few widgets from my left sidebar in the hope that doing so might help. But, alas, it didn't make the slightest difference. I've also experimented with various other changes, including
1. Moving my Sites for Writers list (which, after all, is quite a lengthy list of links) out of my sidebar and into a blog post
2. Trying various blog templates
3. Removing Google ads entirely
None of these tactics has worked. So, I've put everything back the way it was before except for the sidebar widgets that I removed. (It really isn't at all surprising to me that these tactics haven't worked, because my blog has been this way for quite some time and I've only just begun having this problem recently.)
Technical Problems: No Fun!
At this point, I'm pretty much at a loss as to how to correct the problem, since I have no idea what the problem is. Since sidebar overloading doesn't appear to be the culprit, I'm not sure what else I can do to correct it. No matter how many items I remove, the blog loads just as slowly. If you have any suggestions for something else I might try, I certainly would appreciate hearing them. However, I suspect that when all is said and done, I'll have to contact Orble Support for help. (I will probably do this tomorrow.) I hope everyone will bear with me until I'm able to get this problem worked out.
Here's hoping that I -- or Orble -- will be able to figure it out soon! Technical issues are no fun for us non-techies! And slow-loading blogs are no fun for anybody!
Thanks for your patience!
Jeanne
