Jenny: I could say it’s seasonal inconsistency, but fact is it’s inattention. I screwed up. Sorry.

My style in C&I is to only use capitals in the first word (ditto in articles)–but here my style is supposed to be to use the name the way it appears on the blog (albeit usually leaving off initial articles and subtitles). I’m fixing it.

Is running the words in a site's title together a new naming convention for you, Walt? I ask because I don't see you using that style on any other blog posts (e.g., http://walt.lishost.org/?p=434), so I'm wondering why you used it on mine. Just trying to figure out wording and consistency of language. TIA.

I, too, have noticed some odd Bloglines behavior of late, with other feeds, as well. Such oddities used to be accompanied by commentary of some sort from the folks in charge, but nothing recently.

Well, heck, it’s the holidaze. I’ll wait for a week or two and see whether things improve.

What’s odd is that I got the initial post in Bloglines, but I haven’t gotten any updated posts. Usually when someone updates a post (at least someone using WordPress), it reappears in Bloglines with the added information, but that didn’t happen in this case or in the case of another recent post of yours (at least I think it was yours–I’m getting over my end-of-the-semester head cold, and some things are a bit foggy).

The same thing has been happening with lots of other people’s feeds in Bloglines too (including mine). It’s really annoying and is making me think about switching to Google Reader. But my switching doesn’t solve the problem of other people not being able to read our posts. I wrote to Bloglines support about the problem about a month ago and it took them two weeks to get back to me (!!!). In the interim, ironically because I blogged about it, a Bloglines software engineer wrote to me privately and said they were working on the problem. It got better temporarily, but now it’s getting flakey again.

Thanks. It appears Bloglines is just a little flakey, but “just a little” is the operative word. See the update in the post itself…

Not having any problems with a delay.
