  Hello!
  I tried to put a music file in my blog, but it seems not to be working. The player appears but get stuck on the “buffering” thing: could it be the file to be too large? (it is around 3500 kb)

  Help?

  Thank you

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  @malapuella:

  For an mp3, 3500KB is not large. Try uploading and inserting a copy of your mp3 with no punctuation marks and no spaces in the title.

  On another issue: Your page takes too long to load, because you’ve been uploading unnecessarily large files. Your latest pic, for instance, is 2048px wide while you’re didplaying a 300px wide version of it. You’d better make copies of your images, use an image editing application to downsize them to the proper width and optimize them for the web, and upload those copies. Apart from faster loading, this way you also save uploading space and get better image quality.

  Thank you for your replies:

  @arcadata yes, that’s how it is coded. The address is specific of the file, but if you open it with a browser it redirects you to another page… ?

  @panaghiotisadam thank, I will try with a shorter name
