Using Smugmug plugin on Wordpress

I've been using the WP-Smugmug plugin on several Wordpress blogs with success, but today I encountered something strange. I installed it on a different blog and although it works, it takes about 45 seconds to fully access the feed. The thumbnails show up right away, but the lightbox effect will not work for a long time. I've never had a problem like this on my other 2 blogs and I'm hosting all these blogs on the same account, so I can think of no reason why this one today is giving me such a problem. To see what I mean, check the blog that is working fine at http://www.colleeneasley.com and then the one that isn't working so well at http://www.brownbagchats.com The first will load immediately - the 2nd takes about 45 seconds before you can see the photos in the lightbox.

Any ideas?? I've tried disabling other plugins in case something there was interfering with the feed, but nothing changed.

    I found the answer to my problem. Something with the theme I was using was interfering with the feed. Once I changed my theme, everything worked fine. In the process I also found that some other themes also don't work well with the SmugMug plugin in that they put the thumbnails in one single column instead of in rows of 3 like in most of other themes. So if you encounter that problem, try another theme.
