might want to take a look at the way you are linking to these stories. Using IE 8, the story loads on this page, I see the video box appear. Then the page goes “white” and the story is gone except the link. So I end up having to wait for the load twice.

  hmm, not entirely sure if i follow. the story is embedded and does tend to take a moment to load — one reason why i write the intros. perhaps takes longer sometimes and that’s what you are seeing?
  
  if not, i will pass this on to the folks at RePost so that they can check it out / correct it.
  
  but the most important thing: why are you on IE?! switch to Chrome or FireFox!! much better/faster/safer.
