Testing testing ...
A weird thing happened yesterday. Only the one post is showing on the blog homepage. I didn't change any settings -- I went and looked and it's still set to display the 10 most recent posts -- but there was only the one post. It's not a blogger glitch either, because I see several posts on other blogspot blogs. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm. Maybe too many images?!

"My blog homepage shows only one post. earlier it used to show seven posts. I want seven posts on my homepage." The possible cause is the builtin auto-pagination.
Also note related questions on that sidebar.
So before I check further, I'd ask if you compose via blogger or do you compose using some external program (like Word)?
Blogger Template Style

so you must be using the blogger (google) editor.
Since that first image *data* is right in the HTML, the HTML for that article is very large, which triggers the auto-pagination. (Only so much is allowed to appear on one presented page.) The solution? When that article rotates off the home page, things will return to normal (except that article will cause the same behavior on whatever pages it's on).
If anyone would care to see, you'd "view page source" from your browser and then look/search for this--> iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUh
which is only the beginning of a LOT of characters which make up the actual image data.
{If google was smarter, they'd exclude image data bytes from the count that is used for pagination purposes.]

"We're sorry but an error has occurred with the page you are requesting.
An alert has been sent to the site administrator."
They can't even put up a decent failure notice to say "we've completely messed it up and so we shut it down while we try to fix things" - much less having actually **tested** the new site before going live with it. Sigh...
Hey, before you know it, people will be publishing science nutrition books that are defective, too :)
For what it's worth he came across really reasoned, just focusing on junkfood and unnecessary added sugar, stressed that the dose makes the poison and of course fruit and moderate sugar is fine. They are talking about a sugar-tax here (I'm under no illusions that it is a health initiative - in case you haven't heard we're pretty broke!) so since that's right up his street I'm wondering if wasn't drafted in to add some weight (heh) to the campaign.

Right. If I ever start a blog you are hired.
"Sugar Should Be Regulated As Toxin, Researchers Say"
http://news.yahoo.com/sugar-regulated-toxin-researchers-180605186.html
But I agree with you, Sam, that the underlying rationale about sugar easily providing lots of extra calories is reasonable - but not the *only* problem.
But holy crap! Sam's cite has this claim: "the effects of drinking too much alcohol -- which was, in any event, manufactured from the distillation of sugar". My cite from Yahoo and their "science writer" penned article has the same! Can somebody pleeeese call Russia and Poland and tell them they've been making vodka wrong for centuries? Might as well include Scotland and Ireland and any beer making places, too. But nobody has to call the wine making places that actually make alcohol from sugar, thank goodness, or this could take all day.
There are other misstatements presented as fact, too.
That leads to the bigger question: is Taubes teaching a course on science writing? (He seems to have taught Lustig quite a bit of something or other.)
@Bentley: and if I ever start a MST3K commentary on LCer videos, you're hired :) The comments on that diet doctor show cracked me up.
@Evelyn: glad to be of help.
Coz now we are TWO!!
