  1. I just noticed that a YouTube videoclip that I embedded several months ago, seems jerky I played it. It never was before.

  So far, I also have 3 different WordPress slideshows, each embedded in their individual posts. Here’s a recent sample post with non-Java script WordPress slideshow.

  Although the slideshows run automatically non-Java script, I’m just wondering if it’s possible the performance of certain blog viewing features, would be affected by having too many different slideshows running automatically in the future.

  2. I also would like to know if a blog post is Archived, does the automatic slideshow “stop” temporarily until I retrieve/open up the post?

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

  I’m pushing this back up on the list. It’s been 10 hrs. waiting for a response and there have been people awake in Eastern North America.

  I’m on the Pacific Coastal time zone.

  The reason why I need to know is that I predict for the 3rd blog that I will need to set up will most likely incorporate YouTube and perhaps some short slideshows in different posts.

  “I’m just wondering if it’s possible the performance of certain blog viewing features, would be affected by having too many different slideshows running automatically in the future. “

  Yes, absolutely. The more rich media you have on a page or in a post, the more interference like this you’re going to get. If you’ve got your blog set to display three posts at a time, then maybe add a YouTube only every three posts, so there’s only ever one on the page.

  Thank you. This helps when I plan the 3rd blog and meanwhile not get carried away with existing blogs.
