I have trouble loading a lot of blogs from home, but at work I can navigate much better. My photo file size tends to be pretty big, but I'm a tad dense with re-sizing and all that...oh well. Opening one post at a time is a great solution! Even without subscribing to a feed, I can do that and navigate much better...thanks!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-79828255521071982072008-01-14T12:31:00.000-06:002008-01-14T12:31:00.000-06:00Mari-Nanci: I compensate for my dial up by subscr...Mari-Nanci: I compensate for my dial up by subscribing to a blog and always using a reader. That way, I only have to load one post at a time. I haven't had any problems with your blogs. The resolution/file size of photos is as important as the quantity. The resolution of you photos (that I checked) is relatively low, plenty good enough for viewing on a monitor but still small enough for dial up to handle without timing out. Thank you!<BR/><BR/>******<BR/><BR/>Mary: Sometimes is more than a little frightening how much a part of my life this computer (and being able to get onto the Net) has become.Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374936227735741953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-69921983011938811102008-01-13T14:09:00.000-06:002008-01-13T14:09:00.000-06:00I get all antsy with I lose connection.

My Wireless Router box had a minor 'nervous breakdown' the other day. :-( And I keep reading of others, like you, who have had their own kind of problems.<BR/><BR/>You have dial up. Can you easily read my <A HREF="http://photoscitymine.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">city photo blog</A>? Wondering because lots and lots of pictures take lots and lots of load time. -sigh-<BR/><BR/>One of my <A HREF="http://smilnsigh.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">other blogs</A> has more 'pictures.' And I've been told that no one with dial up could wait for it to load. <BR/><BR/>This later one is a more *Prettty Stuff* one so you'd probably not be interested anyway. Just saying.<BR/><BR/>But I did try to make even that one, easier to load. I stopped having wee little pics, between paragraphs. And I took all but minimum pics, off my Side Bar. And I never have all the *cutsey* stuff on my Side Bar, with a lot of gals do. Yishhh..<BR/><BR/>So, finally, I get around to saying thank you for stopping by and commenting in my city photos blog!<BR/>Glad to meet you!<BR/><BR/>Mari-Nancismilnsighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207943167502354530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-54998108946953542802008-01-10T01:23:00.000-06:002008-01-10T01:23:00.000-06:00Abraham: I used to like stormy weather more befor...Abraham: I used to like stormy weather more before becoming a property owner.<BR/><BR/>******<BR/><BR/>Sherry: I'm sure your city birds would miss you, but I'm equally certain that you'd attract a huge following of country birds in no time.<BR/><BR/>******<BR/><BR/>Lana: Yes, I can understand my ISP not wanting to field hundreds of calls about their service being out. A good compromise would be a recorded message acknowledging their problem. I always like to know for sure it's their problem and not mine. There have been a couple of times that I accidentally changed a setting on my computer that kept me from connecting. <BR/><BR/>Oh, well. It's working now. I'm happy until my service goes out again.<BR/><BR/>******<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Cathy.Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374936227735741953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-77664137922743167262008-01-09T18:27:00.000-06:002008-01-09T18:27:00.000-06:00Glad the bad weather missed you and that you are b...Glad the bad weather missed you and that you are back on line.

Sounds like that nasty front that came through near your area probably had something to do with your internet problems. Most places like that <I>will</I> disable phone lines when a major problem occurs & I can sympathize. Working security at an apartment/townhouse complex years ago, the power went out. Had I not unplugged the phone & turned off my radio, I would have had to say "Yes, I know, they're working on it," 50,000 times.Lana Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975996208260144558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-80017153573858474932008-01-09T08:25:00.000-06:002008-01-09T08:25:00.000-06:00Lovely photos of your trees!You have a beautiful l...Lovely photos of your trees!<BR/>You have a beautiful landscape.<BR/>If the birds and butterflies wouldn't mind too much I would love to move out of the city!
