Something has afflicted my site in the last two to three weeks. My staff of writers has deserted. Do they feel responsible? Will My readers be next? What has caused this calamity? Please don't tell me it's my content or my ponderous writing?I'm asking for help among sympathetic readers. Not having a clue, I need a few.
abiding with you on this end....
ReplyDeletewriters seem to post....
and it's the beginning of decadent Fall; perhaps last flings with nice weather... ??
but I hope you've noticed, I'm a bit busy or I post more and I still have sites to catch up on... :-)
1. Discussions about healthcare and other issues have made some people depressed.
ReplyDelete2. People are still getting settled. Kids have just gotten back to school. And work seems to be settling as well. Yes, it looks like I will have a job for a while.
3. Some people are looking for new blogs where people are discussing other issues or interests.
I should have been more specific: It's my concern that this site loads very slowly. This is a recent development. Sometimes when I'm posting an article, I actually doze off before it publishes.
ReplyDeleteAny one share this sense of things?
25 seconds from this page to the front page.

ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm dealing with. I'm thinking I ought not to post again until I can reduce these hang times, significantly.
Your writing, along with the rest of the staff, is great. But with the end of summer a higher than usual amount of bovine fecal matter is impacting the rotating air recirculator.
ReplyDeleteI'm blowing this fascist county next weekend and going to the beach, to hell with this shit.
Well I hope not ......
ReplyDeleteIt's gotta be purely coincidental, Vig. Yours is a fabulous site, so I'm sure your flock will return soon. I HAVE noticed your site loading a bit slower of late, though. Have you contacted eBlogger about it?
ReplyDeleteOk / I'm double leaving messages for you Vig... YES your site page takes a WHILE loading for me.. ZZZzzzz .... I'm leaving this on FB too. Once it load in though, it's easy to navigate or leave a comment, etc.
ReplyDeleteThere is a small phenomena known as the Mercury Retrograde happening through this month... the planet (Mercury) responsive for communications, contracts, the fulfillment of promises, etc. I fups up most communications right well. It's just true.
Re: folks finding a lack of glamour with political blogs of late: ah, well, could be. However; I repost on FB and know I'm driving more traffic ... interest is there. I repost most of 'follows'.... I think a few other folks do too. So I wouldn't hold on to that forecast.
Vig... I would contact Blogger / Google about Sozadee. It did happen to me for a short time, until I changed my number of showing entries... you know, instead of all I just show the last nine ... you probably already do that...my point: there are 'fixes' .....
Thanks, Guys. I'll pursue these suggestions!!!
ReplyDeleteVig,
ReplyDeleteHave the same experience as Jack Jodell. There must be some bug.
Despite that, am still around, reading the posts most even if not always leaving comments.
Keep on blogging, Vig.
The writing's fine, Vig. But yes, the slow loading has become annoying. My monkey brain can come up with no suggestions for fixing that.
