Visited the Seattle Antiquarian Book Fair this weekend. Dave Smith of Fantasy Illustrated sent me a pass for it, and having been there last year, I went again this year. Enjoyed it thoroughly, and for those who weren't there, a few photos.

Just a note... that, for many browsers, the images on this post are broken. Many browsers now block, in an automatic and irrecoverable manner, cross-site embeddings as being "insecure". In the case the images are coming from files.1drv.com I couldn't get the images to load in any of my five Web browsers.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry that you couldn't see the images. I've been using photos embedded from OneDrive for a long time now, since i started running out of space on the free Google account. I've published trip reports full of embedded OneDrive photos that have received a few hundred views, and seen no similar complaints. I've also browsed to my site from work and while travelling, and never seen this issue.
DeleteSecondly, cross-site embedding is usually only a problem when a site tries to run scripts from another site (cross-site scripting). In my case, I don't embed anything except links to books etc. from Amazon, and images from OneDrive. Not even turned on Google AdWords for this blog for the same reason.
While it's possible that there is a bigger issue with the blog, at this point, i'm inclined to think that it might be something with your browsing/network situation. Are you seeing this at work/using a VPN/web proxy or any other mechanism to block select sites, perhaps at ISP/router level?
Sai, I've never had a problem viewing your blog and I've read all the posts since you started. Thanks for showing photos from this show.
