your new posts you can't see anything when you click more.
@laura
Thanks for letting me know. I usually use a "Firefox" browser instead of "Internet Explorer." So I get a little error message with IE, but the page still loads.
This post should just say "Happy April Fool's Day" after the "More."
Does anybody else out there have this problem?
Explorer repeatedly loads your background and template, minus the actual article. Firefox doesnt seem to have that problem
@laura, @fluurt
Does that solve the problem? I can't replicate it myself!
