This problem was previously discussed concerning a different theme in this thread:

Please let me know if there's another way to get rid of this artifact or if I would need to edit the CSS. Thanks!

What browser and browser version are you using?

Thank you!

.home .post {
position: relative;
}
.post .comments {
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
right: 0;
text-align: right;
width: auto;

.page .comments-closed {display:none;}

Thanks.

Try using a different theme. Twenty ten doesn't show that phrase.

#comments {display:none;}

thanks.

i've already paid for the CSS upgrade. would i be able to move the comments back up to the top through modifying my CSS?

thanks!

i'll start doing my images medium quality per your recc. and also already changed my # of posts. thanks for your suggestions!!!

As far as the comment link position, no there is no way to move it back to the top. That would require modifications to the underlying theme PHP script files, and we do not have access to those since this is a multi-user blogging platform and we all share the same underlying files. Any change by one person would change it for everyone.

i do resize all my photos to 72dpi at the appropriate width (600 px) but i've been saving at top quality JPEG setting. I guess I need to look into the lower quality to see how that affects image quality.

so are you saying there is no way to put the "leave a comment" link back up top?

thanks,

First, you need to optimize your images better before uploading them. The are way too large (file size) and it is taking forever to load your main blog page. I see many images in there that are over 400k in file size. In general, my suggestion is that you keep the file size down to under 75k each. You can do this by opening the image in an image editing program on your computer, then saving the image as a lower quality jpg. You have to have a "high" quality and "medium" quality jpg side-by-side to see the difference and in many cases it is almost impossible to see the difference on a computer monitor.

Secondly, you need to reduce the number of posts that show on the blog pages by going to settings > reading and changing the number to something lower like say 3 or 5.

Those on slower internet connections - and there are still a good number of them out there - will certainly appreciate it.
