It's a free blog hosted at http://decimatlsov.wordpress.com/ and I'm trying to use a header image, but it doesn't seem to work properly. The image I'm using is the suggested resolution (i.e. 940x150), and when I upload it, it seems to work fine... for about 2 hours. After that, the image breaks and all I see is the "broken image" symbol. I've tried uploading multiple copies of the header, but that doesn't seem to work. Oddly enough, sometimes the images restore themselves after a few hours, but more often than not, they don't.

I can only think this is an issue with the hosting, either there's something wrong with the website code or my image is breaching some sort of filesize boundary. If it's the latter, it might be a nice idea to include this boundary on the page, to stop this happening without apparent reason. I suspect it probably isn't this, though, so I would appreciate some help.

I'm just suggesting that you keep them smaller in file size. It helps both directly on the blog, and also in the feed. You really don't want a feed set to show 50 posts each with a 400k image in most of them. It just isn't a good thing. I just cleared my cache and went to your feed, and it took just short of 3 minutes for it to load with my wireless internet connection.

Feeds here sometimes take a while to update, and at other times they update almost instantaneously.

You can always contact staff directly after they get back on the 19th at http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ .

Please though, optimize your images, no matter what the purpose of this blog is.

This particular wordpress.com site is simply to generate a feed for a podcast to pass to feedburner (to create enclosures and add apple meta data) to then pass to itunes. It isn't made for people to visit to indexed.

The only problem i am having is: when updating the syndication settings, uncleweed.wordpress.com/feed doesn't reflect the changes. This should occur no matter what content is on the blog.

Any ideas?

There aren't that many images on the front page, and it loads fast for me (and I'm on a slow computer).

You never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever upload 400k+ images to a website. On my wireless internet connection it took 2 minutes for your main blog page to load. I would simply click away rather than wait, and slow loading web pages are one of the top 10 things people surfing the web hate the most. The other thing is, search engines such as Google now take into account web page loading times when calculating page rank and search engine results page placement, and will penalize slow loading sites. Don't make the gOOg mad. They can kill your blog traffic in a heartbeat by banishing you to page 1,000,757 in the search results.

Images should never be over 75k in file size, and 50k is even better. Also if you use a lot of images in posts, set your blog to display only 5 posts per page (settings > reading).

You need to optimize your images and then re-upload them and insert them into the posts replacing the images you are using now.

Also, clear your browser cache and then look again. It might be an issue with your browser cache. IE is famous for tenaciously hanging onto cached pages (that is how they make it look relatively quick).

Is there a cache which needs to refreshed or another setting i've missed?

Thanks for ideas, for reference i'm reducing the podcast feed filesize to pass along to feedburner.

The maximum allowable filesize for imported XML files is 2mb, but the exported file from WPcom is over that. How can I work around this?</b> Could I import only a section of it at a time to break it up? All posts are by one person. Let this be the definitive answer for everyone searching for this question to be answered. Please don't answer yes/no without explaining how.

Could I possibly change/edit the php.ini file to permit a larger install size? If so, where is it? I hunted through my install's subdirectories and can't locate it.

Downscaled version 480x360 - 675k: http://justfiveminutes.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/2009-01-22_reflections_patterns.png?w=480&h=360

Original version 1600x1200 - 150k:

I guess you could save some bandwidth by compressing the downscaled image (I assume this only affects PNGs).
