Already with the technical problems!

If any wordpress or web geniuses out there have some advice for me, here’s what just happened: Candleboy.com was crashing browsers. I tried returning home to the blog and I was getting a spinning beachball of death as Candleblog tried to load. It totally crashed Firefox 3, Firefox 2 and Safari whenever I tried to go there. It would hang trying to load information from i.ytimg.com (a YouTube image server) or from vimeo. I unpublished the posts with video in them and the site loaded okay. Any idea what’s up? I don’t want to go back to not being able to embed video clips!

Could be a vimeo problem:

No real solution though. You could try the post again without the vimeo video and see if that works.

I’d read that post in Google Reader in FF3 and it worked fine.

maybe try adding one at a time and see you get to a certain number and it crashes? then maybe it is a limited resources problem (too much at once on the server). if it crashes on the first try, then you know it is an embed problem.

Maybe it’s a plug-in/widget that’s conflicting with the video. Unless of course you’re not using any besides the “Add To Any” one.

Here in XP-pro/FF3-land, I have had no crashes, bugs or snafus. It’s all in your head.
