Subject: page content and loading speed
Posted: Fri May 02 11:13:50 -0700 2008

OK, dumb question, I'm sure, but I gotta ask it...I do a music show and like to throw pictures and videos of the artists I play in each episode onto my Podomatic page. As the content accrues I assume that this will slow the speed at which my page fully loads to a crawl, yes? It's to the point where my page usually just freezes up Firefox, only fully loading occasionally, so I want to put an end to that. Just gotta ask before I start deleting a buncha stuff...

Anyone posting Chapter Art from a Windows machine? I do it with my Mac, but that may not be an option for you. Assuming you are not using GarageBand on a Mac, will make another suggestion. Pictures only with the latest episode.
Delete your 'current' episode when ready to upload your latest. Then upload it again, without the graphic. THEN upload your latest.
You may want to consider switching as a valid option. I use Art Text (3rd party) for my Chapter Art, but there are many options - including 300x300 imported graphics.

I'm just posting pics and videos with codes from Photobucket and YouTube, but with 10-15 photos and about 5 videos per episode, it has added up. But your suggestion of pics and vids only with the latest episode was the solution I was thinking of. Don't use GarageBand to do my show, but my girl has it on her laptop, so that is a possibility, is Chapter Art associated with that? Not sure what Art Text and/or 300x300 imported graphics are, but I'll look into them. Thanks very much for the response!!!

Took a look, played some Tina Turner, thought about it a bit.
Art Text is a bit of 3rd-party shareware that can produce some psychedelic text ... if that's what you need. Maybe not.
300x300 (pixel) graphics are the standard for Chapter Art ... which also seems to not be what you are concerned about.

I fear reposting your episodes without the movies and extra graphics is the only way to extend your storage. Which is a shame.
