Dear Friends..
You may well wonder where I have gone to as I try to access your blog posts.. I seem to be experiencing problems every time I click to view your posts from WP with my PC freezing refusing to load up your pages.. Getting stuck with (read .s1.wp.com) showing as the culprit.
I can access other internet services with no problems.. Any ideas of how to solve this blip would be most welcome..
In the meant time I keep trying.. I have even tried accessing blogs direct from email alerts, and still it your pages will not load.. Sometimes It even takes ages for my own blog to load with the same message getting stuck..
So pleased bare with me.. ( Maybe the Universe is nudging me along to buy a new PC.. 🙂 ) as my old PC is slow any way.. but this is beyond frustrating..
In the mean time
Another Photo for you ..
Doune Castle Scotland you really have to look in the centre of the photo to find it 🙂 This was taken on our way to see Stirling Castle.
Hope to be back to viewing and commenting upon your posts as soon as this problems sorts itself.
Blessings Sue

I changed browers too about a month ago to Firefox.. as Chrome were no longer updating my vista PC.. Since then I struggled to connect on WP.. But since returning it went crazy.. Hope its sorted now..
And yes.. Computers are not my thing either.. I learnt the hard way click and hope for the best LOL ❤ xxx

Try using a different browser, WP works best with the Firefox Broswer (free download for both windows and Mac, then there is Crome, it’s good too, even translates the different languages automatically (it’s very fast too, a friend of mine thought she needed a new PC but I downloaded the 2 above mentioned browsers for her and she found that she didn’t need a new one) windows is a very old Broswer, most windows users don’t use it anymore because the other 2 browsers work so much better.
Also, try clearing all of your cookies and history in your browser, they can run slow when this is not done regularly.
Some people’s blogs have way too much on the fron page and sits too, too many widgets slows down WP, that’s why I don’t have any widgets on the sides that are pics especially animated pics, they totally slow down even a fast computer, WP free themes aren’t built fir a lot of side widgets pics.
