If you go to my site you see links to some Pages I've created in the right hand column (i.e. "Index of Movies reviewed").<br /><br />Creating a Page is just like creating a Post. It just takes the time to paste the links you want into the page then Publish it. Getting the Page link to show up on your blog is the same as getting any other widget, like the page views, to show up.<br /><br />In theory you could create Pages with indexes, one for movies, one for performers, one for directors, etc., and then delete the Labels. (Delete them from showing up in the right hand column, not delete them from the posts, since the Label links would be the ones you would place in the new Pages.) <br /><br />It would take some time, and while the Labels are my best guess, I don't know for a fact they are the cause, so there is a chance that this won't work.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-26600151190890938662012-11-04T19:17:28.260-08:002012-11-04T19:17:28.260-08:00@Chip-I think it could be the labels.

That way, I can make sure that someone could click on that index and find something. It would be a big help.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-72790694664152579092012-11-04T17:32:04.556-08:002012-11-04T17:32:04.556-08:00"I really don't know what to do.

I apologize for what's happening as I think that's why I'm not getting as many hits as of late."<br /><br />I wasn't going to say anything, because it felt like I was rubbing it in, but I had noticed a drop off in comments here the last couple of months and I felt the same thing - the delay was keeping people away.<br /><br />I use Internet Explorer as my browser. I don't see a Twitter feed here, which appears to be the big delay at the other blog I mentioned. <br /><br />In fact, the only difference I see between what you have on your site and I have on mine (both of us using Blogger), is that you have a ton of Labels.<br /><br />I have no idea if that is what is taking the time. I would certainly hope that Blogger would have those pre-indexed, but maybe they have to build all of the links each time a page is sent?<br /><br />Are you saying that while using Firefox you don't experience a delay with your site coming up? If so, that would seem to rule out the Labels being the cause.<br /><br />I use Internet Explorer on my own Blogger site, though, and don't experience a delay, so that would seem to preclude the browser. (Unless it's a combination of the two).<br /><br />Maybe a non-movie post asking people for who is and is not experiencing a delay, then what browsers they are using, would be helpful? If no pattern emerges, maybe someone like Bonjour Tristesse, who seems to be a whiz at html, can help.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-73963986678576827382012-11-04T17:13:45.272-08:002012-11-04T17:13:45.272-08:00@Chip-I really don't know what to do.

However, I do think that this is Tarantino's weakest script as it's a bit more conventional and obvious than his others, but still has his lovely trademarks.

Every single click literally takes a couple of minutes to come back. I don't know if there's some widget that is running that takes up most of the time or not.<br /><br />As an example, when I brought your site up just now I walked downstairs, erased a political robo-call off my answering machine, got a drink of soda, grabbed a snack, and walked back upstairs to my computer, just in time to see your site's main page finish rendering.<br /><br />While it's possible it's my computer connection, I've only had this issue on one other blog (and even then not as pronounced). I vists dozens of others and they all come right up in seconds.<br /><br />Again, my apologies for this. It's your site and you can have anything you want running on it. I only mention this in case the delay is an unintentional one caused by something you are ambivalent on having on your site.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
