Feedburner is Malfunctioning Yet Again.......

Stolen from Pinterest

Here we go again. If you are like me and subscribe to nearly every blog you follow via email, and if Feedburner is somehow involved with said email subscriptions, you might have noticed that within the past 48 or so hours they have stopped coming. (NOTE: You do NOT have to have a "Blogger" blog for this to be happening, it is happening with self-hosted and WordPress blogs as well).

This happened in 2018 at least 4 times, each time the blog posts would stop coming for as long as 4 or 5 weeks at a time, then...BOOM......they would magically re-appear.

This is frustrating because if you do not have your blog on Blog Lovin' and you aren't posting your links in a blog hop of some sort, I can't read them (because my feeble mind doesn't remember the well over 100 blogs I follow by each and every name).

For those that are number watchers, those will be affected as well because obviously if your blog isn't hitting someone's inbox, it isn't being seen or read.

I am doing my best to keep up with my blog reading and commenting, but if I am not around that is why.

If anyone knows the secret as to how to contact Feedburner to bring this to their attention, leave a comment and let me in on the secret. I have tried stealing the witch's broom and returning it to the Great Wizard of Oz, but this doesn't seem to be the fix.

Thank you! 

It's NOT You, It's Feedburner

 FEEDBURNER SUCKS. 

YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT

FEEDBURNER SUCKS

Well, furiends, the same thing that happened to us back in October  has happened again. For the past few weeks ALL of the blogs that use Feedburner to deliver their blogs to us via email HAVE STOPPED COMING TO OUR INBOX.

When this happened in October it lasted about a month and then BOOM, one day they magically started appearing. Cody and I hope that happens again...SOON!

We are trying to keep up with you via BlogLovin' (when we have time, Mom and I don't like readers because they take too long), and we are also clicking on your blogs when you leave a comment, (when we are able to.) Because things have been extremely crazy since mid December   we are not always able to do that. We are doing our best to keep up with everyone but we follow A LOT of blogs and it appears that A LOT of blogs have been affected by this.

Please know that if we are not commenting as much as we would like to it is primarily due to Feedburner.  Because they SUCK.

Cody and I hope you will forgive us!!

"The One Where We Turned Eight" and A Feedburner PSA

Thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes and for your condolences about the loss of our cousin. with all that has been going on,  we almost forgot our blog anniversary. 

Our blog first published on October 25th, 2009 (but we didn't begin to blog regularly until 2010), regardless, we are now eight years old.

What a wild, wacky, strange, loving and interesting eight years it has been! Cody and I have learned A LOT about ourselves and we have enjoyed learning a lot about YOU!

 Many of you have been with us since the early days and we thank you, to those who are "newer" to our blog we welcome you with open arms and paws!

We thank each and every one of you who take the time to stop by and visit, (although now with Feedburner not delivering our blog and many, many others, we are missing many of your blog posts).  Those of you who rely on Feedburner to send out your blogs via email (EVEN IF YOU ARE SELF HOSTED AND OWN YOUR OWN LINK AS WE DO), there are many people not receiving your blog. If you check Feedburner and it says there is no problem, THERE IS IN FACT, A PROBLEM. A number of other bloggers have confirmed that is the case. We are certain many of you are no longer seeing us in your inbox. We wish we had a solution, but we don't, other than if you are on BlogLovin' we are too and you can follow us there as well. 

 Check your numbers, if your page views/comments are down, Feedburner is more than likely the culprit. If we USED to visit and you haven't been seeing us, that is why. We are now relying on Blog Lovin', Blog Hops and The Cat Blogosphere, as well as your blog comments on our blog to make sure that we read yours. We subscribe to well over 200 blogs and it is impossible to remember each and every blog that we are not receiving. We are doing our best to visit all of you.  Cody and I wish we had a solution, but for now, we are hoping the situation resolves itself. If you have any suggestions as to what we should do, please share them with us! 

Thank you all for your friendship  through the years, we don't say it often enough, but we love and deeply appreciate each and every one of you. 

Caren and Cody
