Once Again, We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties...

There’s definitely a downside to trying to make a website a rewarding experience. In my own case, I’ve tried to add content that’ll make a visit here more than just a simple read. But alas, it seems like every time I try to add anything in the way of external content, the site ends up getting bogged down. Not right away, of course, no. At first, everything seems just hunky-dory, and then wham! The site takes forever to load, and I’m losing readers right and left.

The latest casualties are the “Currently Reading” links — a great way to recommend books, but I can no longer put up with AllConsuming.net’s sporadic reliability. It’d be one thing if I could set it so the page would give it a couple of seconds, and then move on, but no, it just seems to get stuck there interminably. And now it looks like I’ll have to sacrifice the headlines from the Bush/Orwell campaign site GWBush04.com. They’re great, but I can’t put up with loading delays.

If anyone else has problems loading (or displaying) the page, please let me know as soon as possible. I may not have a whole lot of troubleshooting time (or ability), but I’ll do what I can.
