IMAGES IN SITES I READ
We get a lot of positive feedback that there are no images in Sites I Read… especially from our dial-up and international users. We really work hard to keep page sizes down, so the dial-up experience is still manageable (although not much we can do when people stream huge MP3s in their sites!)
But you know what? I am finding that I actually prefer reading the Subscription Digest that comes in my email over the Sites I Read webpage! It’s all about the pictures: I really like seeing dem pics, and since I’m on a fast connection I don’t mind downloading the extra images.
I guess the upshot here is, maybe we’ll add an option to “Show Images” in your Sites I Read, for those of you on fast connections. If you’re on a dial-up, you can leave it just the way it is and nothing will change. But if you’re on a fast connection at work (for example), you can see the posts the way they were intended, pics and all.
I think that’d be coooooool.

I would like it, I ‘spose. I’m not sure it makes a huge difference to me, but then again… people want others to see their pictures, yeah? Exact reason they posted em, although they’ll see the picture at some point, so… hmm… might be a good idea.
hmm getting technical on me eeehh? well that’d be kewl for me cause i got a medie-oker fast dial-up… so ya that’d be a good idea to somehow make it to where you can click to etc etc… or not even bother.
thanx for the care and package here…
cheers

Thank you for the positive feed back on pictures!
I am on dial up, my site is pretty packed, but I have no trouble loading it up. Sometimes I don’t understand where all that is coming from. Unless I have a great server or something!
God Bless Atoka
Yep, I agree, although the way I do is, is pretty much ok, too, that is, to subscribe to my sites via email and get the images in my email. That way, I can wait for the images to load, or just delete the entry if I don’t want to wait.
Oh I’d like that!! It get’s frustrating when there’s “image” there, and I go look at the picture and it’s only a smiley face or something….. So could you let those at least show?
hell yeah, that would be cool… but if ya can’t wait, there’s always this
I prefer to read blogs on “Sites I read” versus an email digest, as my email account is already way too full. So, I would be one who would appreciate the option of turning images “On” in the SIR page.
I think you’re right! That would be very cool! Thanks for the well wishes on my anniversary!
Nice nice nice! I too prefer checking my email, but I’ve found (hate to say) that sometimes the entire posts don’t come through… so it’d be nice to check it out on SIR…
Yes! Good idea!
What’s the hold-up already? Just kidding, ask anyone– I love it here, and I’ll love it more when you make all those changes you’ve been describing.
Your comment …Thanks.
What a great idea. I really look forward to seeing images in blogs. I have always enjoyed a nice lay out.. with a pic or 2. Also some blogs really revolve around the pics. And the Subscription Digest is great! It gets my lazy butt in to leave comments ;o)
Even though I am on a crappy dial-up, I would love to see the option of viewing pics in the SIR.
I like it! I am a SIR junkie, and having the images on that would be really cool.
emailing you didn’t work, so i’m gonna try this
