I’m closing comments on this post; they’re wonderful but have run their course. Between LISHost and Bloglines, the problem seemed to be fixed…BUT maybe not, as evidenced by Jennifer’s note and, as far as I can tell, the ZoneAlarm post not making it so far into either Bloglines or Google Reader. I guess I’ll keep monitoring this for a while.

Late to the party, but here is my two cents: I use Bloglines as my feed reader and did not see any of the Walt at Random feeds before leaving work Friday afternoon (of course I had meetings most of the afternoon, but I do check). I did not check my account over the weekend, but all three of your posts were listed this morning around 8 am.

Interesting. I’m subscribed via the atom feed in Bloglines – and the lastest it has your blog as being last updated on February 10th. I subscribed via the feed burner feed (in Bloglines) yesterday and all of the more recent posts showed up. It is currently almost 5PM EST, and your Vista post has not showed up in Bloglines or in Google Reader. It seems a little bit more disturbing that the problem isn’t consistent (that the posts have shown up for some in Bloglines, but not all).

Sunday, Feb 18th 3:42 PM. Showed up in Bloglines sometime in the last 4 hours; meaning I checked earlier this AM.

Yep; showed up on my Bloglines egofeed within an hour as well. Bloglines did reset the feed. Apparently between that and the changes Blake made, it’s fixed.

My own feed shows up as the atom feed–and I’m pleasantly surprised at the subscriber count (over 400!). I think Feedburner has something to do with that number, which could be the total number of all regular feeds (which I think I’ve set so they all go through Feedburner, maybe, perhaps).

Whew. Good to be back on the board!

It’s Sunday afternoon and I was alerted to your post via Bloglines. I don’t always read things “when they appear”, so I don’t know how quickly Bloglines recognized your post.

BTW I also see your Windows Vista post from today (its 3:51 p.m. EST here).

It is 2:30 pm CST and this post (and the one after it) just showed up in my Bloglines feeds.

OMG, just showed up on Bloglines now 3:00 pm EST. Got three all at once.

Once Five Weeks is over and I can think again, I’m switching to Google Reader. It’s sad, because I’ve always liked Bloglines.

Yay indeed…as noted on the new post (yes, regular posting is resuming), I’m suggesting that people (in general) unsubscribe and resub to the first option from the browser icon, which gets the Feedburner feed. (Actually, they all should, but I’m not sure about this). And Bloglines sent me email saying they’ve reset the feed, so we’ll see…people should be seeing the Vista post by, say, 2 p.m. PST Sunday.
