WORDPRESS IS DROPPING THE WORD 'ALL' FROM MY BLOG!!!
-
I’ve just posted a blog (HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL 1958 PART ONE) and as I’m making corrections, it keeps dropping the word “all” from my blog! I write it back in, update the blog and it stays, but then when I make another unrelated correction and I update that, it defaults back to dropping the word “all” throughout the entire blog. I try very hard to eliminate any and ALL typos from my blogs because I don’t want to look like a moron. Apparently, WordPress is hellbent on making me look illiterate. Please fix, wordpress.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

How strange!
I can’t imagine a situation where the WordPress.com system would be doing that.
Can you show me an example of a post or page where you cannot get “all” to stick?

If you go to my blog on The History of Rock n Roll you will find the error I suppose if you take the time to read it, but the funny thing is that if I correct it once it works, but if I go back in to change or correct something else, it defaults to dropping “all” again and I have to spend my time putting it back in, so in order for it to stay that way, I cannot go in to change anything after I’ve replaced the ord. Weird. maybe it’s a temporary glitch. The last weird thing that happened was that I would go into making a correction but suddenly the code for my youtube clips would not show the youtube window on my box because weirdly enough, it would add symbols to the youtube url, so I had to spend my time erasing the same symbols popping up after each url clip. After that one time though, it didn’t happen again. Go figure. http://rseoane1.wordpress.com/2014/08/22/the-history-of-rock-n-roll-1958-part-one/

OK I just checked it again and if you scroll down my blog to when I write about the Quarrymen, you’ll see that I’m talking about an early song called “In Spite Of All The Danger”, which is clearly stated on the top of the youtube clip, but if you scroll up to see when I typed that title in (it’s in bold) the word “all” is missing and I promise you I have put that damned word in three times already! When I go into the coding section there’s an empty gap between the words where the word “all” should be. I type it in, check it and it’s there. But now it’s gone again. Hope you can fix this issue. Thank you.

When you edit the post, are you clicking the “edit” button from the post itself? Or are you using the Dashboard editor at this URL:

Also, on an unrelated note, you might wish to consider using the “more” tag to split up your posts. The number of youtube embeds in your posts causes a significant delay in loading your site’s homepage and can cause browsers to lock up.

When I edit the post I click on the edit button from the post itself, not the dashboard editor. Which is better?
I will look for the “more” tag, although I have a pretty new Mac Book Pro and the youtube clips cloud up pretty fast, within ten seconds usually. I know some PCs might take longer.
Thanks for the tips!

I would try this change with the dashboard editor and see if it works via that method.

That is entirely up to you. However, it isn’t just a matter of computer speed. Every time you enter in an embed, you are making your page load be reliant not only on the speed of the viewers connection to our servers, but to their connection to youtube’s servers as well. In addition, your computer probably has much of that data cached, so it loads a lot faster. An initial visitor to your site will not have anything cached and it will load significantly slower. I too have a recent macbook pro and a fast internet connection and loading your site last night for the first time took a few minutes before the youtube connections were all finished loading up. It also slowed down my browser considerably while doing simply because it was trying to load so many things at once.
It may have just been a fluke. A slowdown in the youtube servers for example. But it may be worth asking some folks who are not regular readers of your site to take a look at it and see how long it takes to load up.
