Ok this is a weird one, people who read this in RSS readers will get this just fine. People we read the site, probably not for a while.
Why, because something seems to either be up with the server of the WordPress configuration. When ever I make a new post, it take about 10 minutes for the server to sort itself out. In that time it’ll take anywhere from 30 seconds to 4 minutes to start serving a page. Once it’s started everything else happens quickly, or, you just get a blank page. Either way it’s not good enough so I’m troubleshooting with this very post and probably the next one!
In other news I changed the css for the site so it loads the important middle column first, then all the secondary stuff on the right and left. But you know doesn’t help the main problem.
Onwards!
[Edit] Ok, so it seems this post went up just fine, must be a server configuration issue, grrrr

Good luck geoblogger #1 :)
Try out Firebug, it shows the load times of all the elements in a page. The longest are at the Amazon.com affiliation at 3.47 seconds,and feeds.theblogresource.com at 15.04s. I wonder if it’s some kind of caching problem, or browsers timing out on loading these pages? I think Safari, for instance, will hold the page blank until it thinks the page is about done in order to present the user with a “nicer view”.
Hey Andrew,
Yeah I have firebug and I’m pretty sure that’s not the problem. I mean the load times are a problem, which is why I changed the page to render the content first, before the sidebars, which have all the other stuff in that can take much longer.
But what’s happening is this, say it takes 15.04 seconds to load everything. In some cases Firebug tells me it’s waiting 55 seconds to receive anything at all. Then, if and when it gets something, it takes the normal 15.04 seconds of addition time to load the page.
Making the total time 70.04 seconds to load, 55s of nothingness and 15.04 of somethingness.
[...] Normally once I’ve published the post I then end up not being able to view the blog, with constant time-outs and weirdness, I’ve blogged about this before. I’ve even started going through the really rather good series on speeding up sites on the Yahoo Developers Blog: High Performance Web Sites. Which satisfies the desire to tweak and optimize stuff, which I just love [Sidenote: I’m probably going to simplify the templates again]. [...]
