The blog displays well, I like the colours, and I'm fascinated by the content.<br /><br />As for anon not getting youtube on an ipad, that's not your blog's fault, it's because ipads lack the ability to play embedded flash video, so unless the video is embedded using html5, it won't play.<br />Youtube is rolling out new coding, but it's not fully active yet. I think there's an app that converts existing videos. <br />Less than 1% of my visitors use safari, it seems, so I don't see it as a problem. Might I suggest safari users upgrade to a better browser?soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-71732301699142835302011-03-01T11:01:33.822-06:002011-03-01T11:01:33.822-06:00Since the redesign, none of your videos are visibl...Since the redesign, none of your videos are visible on my iPad.

I discovered that by increasing the size of text (the "A|A" zoom button by customizing my toolbar), the problem is solved most of the time. Unfortunately, I have to do this every time I open the browser on most all Web sites.
