We...... Need Your Help!
June 2, 2010 Hi Guys!
We've been tweaking some things here on the site recently in an attempt to improve load time and reduce glitches, but we're afraid this tweaking may have angered the tiki gods/gremlins/Blogger bogeys. And since every web browser presents a whole new fun set of complications, testing them all out is difficult.
That's where you come in.
Please, tell us in the comments if you had any problems loading, viewing or interacting with the site today. (This includes any RSS feed wonkiness.) In addition, if you don't mind, please let us know if your virus software or filters are blocking the site or any of the pictures. And remember, this is for posterity so, be honest.
Thanks, everyone!
Update: There are no images on this post and the link at the bottom of this post for Help for Haiti should not have an image either.
'Nother Update: Hey, Internet Explorer users! First of all, you really should be using a different browser. [grin] However, we know you don't all have a choice in the matter, so we're still working on getting all the IE kinks worked out. We'll update again when we've made more progress, but please be patient (and maybe try Firefox) in the mean time. Thanks!

Loaded faster than usual-- no complaints here! (I use Firefox.)

IE 8/Windows 7 PC: When I click on the "Classics" tab, none of the words of the links appear BUT the links are actually there (float over changes mouse icon from arrow to hand).
RSS to my FB page showed up fine, clicked the link and it loads about the same as it did. I'm using Mozilla, but I don't blame your site, my PC is old and tired and really doesn't like animated ads and such, or warm days, or random Tuesdays..or or or...:P
win7 and chrome here. all looks good and loads fast.
I am using a mac with safari and everything seems to be hunky dory :)
I am using a mac with safari...it loaded much faster than it usually does. Thanks for updating..
Dell laptop w/ Windows 7 & updated Norton, etc. All is well here.
I'm running safari on a mac with snow leopard and it looks great to me!!
On a PC using Google Chrome. Seemed to load faster - all looks good! :)
I'm late answering, but everything seems fine at this point. No problems at all!!
I've opened it up on 3 different computers running 3 OS and in Internet Explorer and Firefox and all was good! Looks great!
Looks good and loads very fast on IE8.
Showed up perfectly fine with Firefox for me! :)
I'm on a PC accessing via Firefox thru your FB link... I've had no problems today (6-2-10) accessing your site or viewing images, until this "We... need your help" post on FB this afternoon. Site loading was noticeably faster this evening. However, at the bottom, in the "more more more" section, I'm not seeing the 'Help for Haiti' image. Besides that, I see no problems.
Definitely faster on XP/Google Chrome!
HEY jen! I'm using firefox google and i've had no prob so far except that one of your MORE!MORE!MORE! links did not exist.....did anyone else notice this?
vista, firefox, on a compaq--loads like normal..tried it in IE8, maybe a fraction slower, but that could be many things...both look fine. And Janet, is that a Red Dwarf reference? If not, carry on. :)
No problems, except there was no "Help for Haiti" link at the bottom.
I didn't have any problems, and it really did seem faster to me! I can't wait to see your next post!
Looks great on the iPad with both wireless and 3G
It loaded faster than usual using firefox.
If I come onto CakeWrecks the normal way (thru your main page) there are no problems.
If I use the Facebook link to this specific post, my computer freezes up & I have to reboot to get the page to close. I'm running IE8 on my laptop
Using Firefox and Chrome, I had no problems. Using IE, the page loaded just fine, but in order to close my browser, I had to click the "back" button to go back to my main page before closing out the browser. I can't get the IE browser to close if I'm on the Cakewrecks site. I'm not exactly sure why. But, then again, I never use IE. I just was trying the site out on all the various browsers we have on our computer.
using Google Chrome, took a little longer to load than usual, but no other problems
I'm a PC with Norton 360 and using Firefox, and everything looks good to me. ;)
I am using the htc G1 on the android system and the page looks fine.
Win7 Pro 64 bit encryption
SeaMonkey & Firefox
1.5MB DSL
Wow! Loads fast! Nothing looks wonky at all. Don't you just love coding?
Everything has worked fine today, no problems.

Windows 7, 64-bit, 6mg AT&T DSL that hardly ever works right... no problems here!
OH! - Using Firefox here!
Windows XP with IE8 and it was slow loading and scrolling after it claimed to be "done"... froze up for a bit.
Just pulled it up again with google chrome and had no problems... perhaps that's a sign for which browser I should be using.
Windows 7 with Firefox - looks good to me.
iMac with Safari; it all looks okay here.
I've had no problems, I'm on a Mac using Firefox. Your updates haven't given me any problems, though this one hasn't shown up yet--followed the link from FB.
Google Chrome working fine.
on google chrome working fine
Using a PC with Chrome and no problems viewing but of the three links at the bottom, the last two (pick a cover and Haiti) are dead.
Looks fine on Chrome and in Google RSS. I only use the standard windows antivirus and firewall..
You win for quoting my favorite movie. Princess Bride ftw.
Running Firefox 5.o with TrendMicro antivirus. No problems ever. Don't do RSS, though, so can't help you there. Please remove The Machine leads from my body now, I hear Miracle Max is on vacation.
I didn't think anyone in the world was as much of a Princess Bride freak as me, but you take the cake! (oh, and everything was fine with the post even on my crappy work computer)
One of the three More! More! More! links that showed up was to choose the Cake Wrecks book cover. It goes to http://www.cakewrecks.com/2009/05/choose-cake-wrecks-cover.html which my browser claims doesn't exist.
I checked at work on Internet Explorer, no problems.
Before today I would often have to reload the page to see all the pictures.
I checked at home on Firefox, no problems.

Looks fine so far!
On a PC using Firefox...no problems! :)
I'm on a PC using Firefox and having no problems at all.
I was using IE last month and had no problems with that either.
My virus protector (Avast) is not trying to block your site.
It's working perfectly on my Mac running Firefox with AdBlock.
I'm on Win 7 on firefox 3.6.3 and it works fine for me.
Thanks for all you both do.
I use Vista and Firefox, and everything looks great!
Today when I logged on I saw a bunch of weenie cakes. Is that normal?
