First View (Error: Timed Out)

What an excellent testing app.! Thanks for all the effort to maintain it. Pagetest has really helped me speedup and improve my web site and blog.

I have a question about a recent result for a blog I am developing. Pagetest has helped me clear up many problems, but now I do not understand a result I have been getting.

I have added a 'share and bookmark" button from http://www.addthis.com/. Now tests on my main page and individual posts return this error: "First View (Error: Timed Out)."

I can not find any information in the online documentation as to why this type of error occurs, and the waterfall report shows nothing I can read as an issue, and the pages 'seem' to load really fast and complete in browsers.

Here are the two blog addresses I have been using to test:

1) http://www.porkopolis.org/pigcity/
the main page, tested today, 2/11/09:
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/090211_11G2/

2) http://www.porkopolis.org/pigcity/clare-leighton/
an individual post, tested today, 2/11/09:
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/090211_11G3/

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
