1 Annoucement w/ Feedburner

So, still a little cautious of Feedburner right now, but to do a test, I subscribed to my own feed, and a few hours later, I got an email from myself. I know right? Odd. Well, here's my theory. Feedburner works, it's just going crazy, and eventually, it will collaspe, but it's kinda working right now. That or it's a glitch. So, what i have done is put back my feedburner email bar for all of you that use it, but I have also left my FeedCat up too. So use either. :D That's all!

 

NEVER MIND!!! 

 

Ignore what i said above. Feedburner is gone. Just had a friend tell me the link to my site via feedburner was full of errors. So, bye bye Feedburner!

As many of you should know or will know by now, Feedburner has been acting up, and since I can't find any of my email followers' emails, I telling you guys this way that I switched over to FeedCat.

When I first learned of this problem, I checked my Feedburner and noticed that I too have lost all of my followers. The Feedburner site works, but I did a test subscription, and I still had zero, goodbye Feedburner. I don't know what's going on with Feedburner, but this post by The YA Kitten helped a bit:

 

"For multiple reasons, such as its Twitter and blog being abandoned and the abandonment of feedburner.jp, it seems like FeedBurner is on the way to self-destructing. I want to be settled with a new feed service before that happens so I don't suffer as great a loss. There are a number of different sites people abandoning FeedBurner can go to, such as FeedBlitz, Rapid Feeds, Feedity, and the service I'm now using unless I decide I dislike it, Feedcat. If you're a fellow blogger considering a switch, check them all out and see what's right for you. I'm on Feedcat because it's free and offers some good options, but if you're willing to pay, the sites have some pretty good paid plans." quoted directly 

 

and this one from Talk Supe:

 

"As some of you may have already heard, Google has decided to shut down its APIs on October 20th. We're not techie folks so we're not really quite sure what APIs are but what we do know is that when we check our subscriber count on FeedBurner we are given a big fat ZERO. Seeing that ZERO people will be receiving our feeds is a very, very bad thing! This basically means that if you are a subscriber to our blog via email you will no longer be receiving our post feeds." quoted directly

Many blogs have been switching over because of all the chaos that has been happening.

I just wanted you guys to know. Please refollow by email. And it's easy to do.

Right now, mine likes to hide behind anything beneath it, so, if you have difficulties, like me know.

 

That's all!
