Big Problems at Blogger (aka Who Knows If You're Actually Reading This)

Apparently there are some big problems here at Blogger for those of us that use a custom URL (for instance, that I use www.manylittleblessings.net instead of randomangie.blogspot.com now).

Several days ago, Blogger stopped redirecting traffic from the old blogspot address to the custom URL for all of those that use one. And, worse yet -- the glitch made it so that the RSS feed stopped being sent out. So, if you read by email or FeedReader and you actually do receive this post, be sure to check out if you saw these posts that you may or may not have received the feed of:

How I Do Our Menu Planning One Month at a Time

Little Girls with Hats and Scarves

7 Quick Takes - June 19th (Vol. 6)

Because the feeds have been messed up, this also means that a lot of bloggers (using the custom URL) have seen a quick (and large) decline in their number of subscribers that is displayed through FeedBurner.

With no end in sight (and with me not even certain that this will go out to any of my readers who subscribe to the blog), I have to admit that it makes having the blog on WordPress a whole lot more inviting. I'm just hoping that this gets resolved soon, and that I don't have to mess with that. It seems like so much work!

Wish me luck! (Well...if you happen to be reading, that is.)

I read it. :) Good luck!! Thanks for visiting my blog...if you are ever anywhere near an IKEA, you must stop in and check it out. It's so much fun to peruse all the little "apartments" they have set up. :)

How annoying! I just clicked on you button on my blog and found that it wasn't redirecting.

I changed buttons to your new button, so hopefully that will work.

Just wanted you to know that I've been getting my email updates and have been redirected. However, I don't know if I'm that much of help. ;)

I was wondering where you went! There must be a lot of people's blogs that are experiencing this...several are not appearing in my reader.

It finally seems to be working again. My subscriber numbers took a plunge, too.

Now, if our Internet connection would just get over whatever has been making it *incredibly* slow all day. I'm not used to it being so slow on my laptop. Ugh!

I had the same results as Tonya. I was wondering what was up with you.

I'm a new reader to your blog and only just moved my blog from blogger over to my own website...ON THE VERY DAY THIS HAPPENED!!!! So my reader numbers fell off a cliff. On the upside it has given me a chance to check out a whole lot of other blogs I haven't gotten around to reading..(like yours) :-)

I'm getting you just fine, thanks for the concern.
