    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!! :D much better/faster/safer. :D
