Mysterious Errors on Page Explained

I’ve gotten emails from several people seeing notices from Firefox or Safari that there are “errors opening the page.”

It’s because of the embedded YouTube videos. YouTube’s code has suddenly started trying to read a file named ‘crossdomain.xml’ from ‘localhost’, and the browser prevents it and throws an error as a security measure. You wouldn’t want YouTube to be reading files off your server, would you? Me neither.

This problem popped up with them once before and they eventually fixed it, so it will probably go away soon.

This is a personal thing, I think that if you wanted to make top ten hits and sell millions of records, you could.

Yeah, but who wants to go through life with a tiny nose and one glove on?
