Before we get back to business as usual around here
there is an issue with Blogger I should mention. In June of 2021 they announced they were phasing
out the service of sending each post to subscribers who signed up to get
it. I removed the sign up from the title
page as it sounded like it was happening within the month. Well, a year later they actually have stopped
sending my subscribers the posts within 24 hours of my writing them. I know this as I had added myself as a way to
archive each post.
My response was to create a database of readers. They receive notifications that a post is up. I write a slight message and send a link to
the just published post. If anyone else
would like to be added to that database, now that you aren’t hearing from Blogger,
drop me a line at felchingpisser@gmail.com.
The list of email addresses is visible to others, so
you likely don’t want to use your office email to get the notifications. Consider getting a gmail account—so you can
also easily comment on posts. After all—I
do like to hear from my readers.
Below is a link to the first time I offered this
service.
Yeah as per the previous post last year - I find it annoying of the functionality lost over time… I’ve had to manually add “bigbluebear” as the comment name since it won’t recognise my google account now… sigh
ReplyDeleteI do begin to wonder if they would just like to ditch blogger. It is 'very old' in computer terms.
DeleteIt looked like counting our hits was going to be another battle with them--but that one resolved itself in 24 hours.
