I thought you might appreciate a face to go with the "voice". Regarding the problem, it doesn't look like a server problem to me. The http://virushead.net/vhrandom site shows the problem too, but not all the time. All sites seem to take a long time to load the "blogflare.com/track/flare-471.gif" file -- which may or may not be related. My screen shots of the problem are on my meditations blog. Since you don't use IE I suspect it is an IE funny. I'll try resetting the IE cache and see if that helps... Heidi, thanks for the compliment.

Before you send anything... my host has had server problems, and I have also been doing a fair bit of editing to the templates and functions. You may just have had bad timing. If you get the error, is it a usual "server unavailable" "server not found" sort of thing? Or is it a WordPress page? You might also check your cache - since there have been a lot of changes, you might have to refresh the page (depending on your settings). I use Firefox almost exclusively, so it may be an IE issue of some kind. I wouldn't even know. On another design I was using, the whole structure would break if I had a photo bigger than a certain size in the main column - but it only broke in IE. Had no idea for the longest time... One other thing, just out of curiosity. See if you get an error on http://virushead.net/vhrandom (no "www"). Send me the pics if none of this sounds like what you're talking about. Oh, hey – nice face Vance.

When it fails it displays "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://www.virushead.net/vhrandom/. Operation aborted" The URL given is either self-referent as above, or is the URL of the posting I was just trying to open. I know how hard it can be to troubleshoot these sorts of problems so I will give you my observations so far in hopes they might help. I have seen this on 3 different computers, all XP, one has IE7 the other two are on IE6. The failure always appears after the posting has appeared, and seems to have maybe a half second delay from the time the posting paints. It seems to have no relation to the bloglines reader I usually use. I have seen the problem just accessing the blog directly without using the reader. When I close out the error dialog with either the ok or Xing it out I sometimes get back to the post and sometimes get an IE error page (not a 404) that "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page". When I get the error page I can usually get back to the post by using the back key on the browser. I will email you pdfs of two screen shots showing this behavior.

Love all the changes around here. “Bad behavior” sounds a little kinky or something…
