Thanks for the tips. Videos are important to blogs as well as being on their own channel. If you successfully integrate the two then you are ahead of most sites.

Great post, Israel!

It depends on your configuration, but as opposed to "caching" content, the primary purpose of a CDN is to deliver the content from a location as close as possible to the visitor (to avoid delay caused by data travel).

Hey Frank, good to know you were fully responded to by Dale! What a pleasant reply! If you still need to ask more questions on how a CDN works, don't hesitate to do so, please.
