Help sought from other Blogger users.

I've noticed that if you click on a link in another blog to a posting in this one you initially see a blank screen and have to scroll down to view the actual post that I have written.

I'm fairly sure that this is a newish change and don't remember changing the template or settings to cause this. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem?

Bill, 
 
Thanks for the e-mail. The first part of the Haloscan code does appear in the header section on the actual template. I played around with the Margin thingy but that had no effect on the problem. I also reloaded the second part of the Haloscan code manually instead of leaving it with the automatic version for Blogger-type sites. Still no result. I think Ill e-mail Blogger and see if they reply. Thanks for all of your help - and also to Doctorvee.

Re doctorvee's comment, I don't recall this particular problem ever affecting my Blogger blog

I seem to remember a lot of Blogger users complaining about similar things a couple of months back. A lot of blogs still have similar problems, where you have to scroll all the way down to get the goods. I think it was a piece of code Blogger added themselves - something to do with people posting images. Unfortunately it had adverse effects on everybody else's blog. The last I heard, they were working on it...

David, 
 
I've just sent you a lengthy email with my thoughts. Like your template, my blog template is basically one of the old-style templates, although I have altered it radically since I first started to use it. What you say may be correct, but my feeling is that the problem began when you added Trackback to the Haloscan comments some months back. 
 
Cheers!

Thanks Bill. It may have started when I changed the template to give unique "names" to the permalinks instead of the reference numbers previously used. I had to make this change because mine is an old-style template and IIRC Blogger told all of us oldies to make the alteration.

I will download a copy of the HTML code for your page and see if I can come up with any suggestions. This is a problem I noticed some months ago, but once I realised I could get to the post I was interested in by scrolling down, I decided to just live with it.
