  In recent days it’s very difficult to run my blog. I can not creat new post or edit the old ones. It said “The server for http://doanbulgaria1976.wordpress.com/ took too long to respond. It may be overloaded.” But there are only few viewers at that time.

  You have so many images and animate gifs that it is causing your site to load painfully slowly. What you need to do is go to settings > reading and set your site to display perhaps 2 posts per page. Also on any post where you are inserting a lot of images, use the read more tag so that some of the images do not appear on the main page and cause the slow loading.

  Read through this support page on optimizing images as well and make sure that your images are compressed to less than 100k (file size) each, and given the number of images you are using, I would even suggest that you lower that down to 50k file size.

  Every image and embed you place in a post slows down page loading time. Animated gifs are especially problematic. That’s why many of us spilt content in the posts by instering “the more tag“. The result is only the beginning of posts on the front page of the blog followed by a read more link visitors can click to view the whole post on its own page.
