Nicholas said...: Dear Celebrate Homogeneity,

I know; it’s driving me crazy, too.

At some items, I advise readers to shut off the sound immediately. As a longtime reader (John Robert Mallernee?) helpfully pointed out, some video embeds have a code you can change to shut off the auto-engage. However, most don’t.

I don’t know what else to tell you. I’m sorry, but I need those videos, and except for ABC News (caltura.com) vids, which I refuse to use, I never know in advance which will cause grief. (The ABC News videos actually wreck my pc.); Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 12:06:00 AM EDT
Glaivester said...: Nick - perhaps you can put the videos under a "read more" break so that they show up for the article but not on the front page?; Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 12:34:00 AM EDT
Nicholas said...: Dear Glaivester,

Now, there's a thought! I'll try it.

Thanks!; Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 12:44:00 AM EDT
