SUBSCRIBE VIA RSSOk, so Google has decided that it doesn’t want to own the world because they’re getting out of the Feed game. Or so I think.
As a result, the millions of you who have subscribed to receive updates about new posts via email or RSS may be eclipsed from being notified. What this means is that all of you are at risk for the onset of withdrawal symptoms and/or deep depression.
I *think* I have successfully transferred everything over to where subscribers will now be notified about new posts via email or RSS (or soon will be).
So, this is a test before I post my AWESOME contest. Are people getting this? Are you hearing me? PLEASE comment below and let me know if you were notified by either email or if you saw the feed okay in your RSS reader.
I swear, if Feedburner zapped all my subscribers, I’m shutting down. I’m in no mood to start over.
/////////////////////////////////
Big changes coming. I’m going to be redesigning my blog, dumping Thesis, and switching email/RSS to MailChimp. These changes will take place in the coming week and I hope you all bear with me as I make the switches. After the housecleaning, I’ll be reigniting my passion for writing and getting back to regular posting.
I’ll be updating soon!

Can’t read your entire post because the Sesame Street ads cover much of it. Is there some way I can get around this?
I’m zapping the Sesame Street ads. I might just zap them all.

I’m not sure if I use a feed? I use the reading list on my Blogger dashboard to keep up with everyone I read. This post showed up in there, if that helps!
Got the “feed”, was wonder where you had gone…

You magically appeared in my feed.
Can’t wait to see the new design!

Gotcha!
It shows up in my NetNewsWire feed, but the Sesame Street ad on the left is stepping on the content a bit.
My google reader “next” button brought me here today.
Google reader all the way
I subscribe to you via email but I wasn’t notified of this post. {but maybe it’ll show later?} I just stopped by because I hadn’t seen any emails since your last post.
I got the email today.
I get notification from blogspot because you’re a one of the blogs I follow. I don’t know if that’s google reader, or RSS or whatever but I saw that you’d posted something.
All is well in my google reader!
Showed up in my blogger dashboard!
I honestly have no idea how I got here. But you were in my reading list so here I am.
Thank heavens all is well–I was concerned about family/health issues keeping you from posting, but it’s only Google’s plans for world domination, phew….!
It shows up for me
I saw this on my google fee on my igoogle home page. I am not very happy with google for taking it away but meh…not much I can do.
Shows up just fine for me. Look forward to more blog posting.
Showed up loud and clear in my rss feed. I was starting to wonder if everything was okay with you. Missed “seeing” you!
Me too!
ok, i was randomly checking your page, and saw this.. then went to my email and saw i got the email about 20 minutes ago. i went to my wordpress page.. it wasn’t there.. and i hit a few buttons, and it finally popped up, saying it was from “20 hours ago”. i get slightly delayed notifications.. but i get them. =)
I received a trusty email!
Showed up in my email.
Got the email notification. I can’t read most of the post (and my comments for that matter) because of the Elmo ad, so please forgive any typos that may be there.
Notified via email.(-:
Got it via email!
Got your feed in my email through Feedblitz. But fyi, the ones I get through Feedburner came through fine this morning as well.
I just check your blog every day!
You are coming in loud and clear Captain.
Big hugs!

Showed up in my google reader. Also, Mailchimp is amazing to use! Good choice!
You appeared in my RSS feed today. Glad to see you – I was getting worried!

I had been wondering where you had gone. Got the first email in many many days this AM.

Notified via email.
Got it.
Got it in google reader, but I may have to go throw up from the Elmo ads…
Got it through Feedler on my iPad that reads Google Reader. Elmo the musical behaved and warned me to buy new earplugs soon, cause I can bet someone in my house is gonna wanna see that!
got it in google reader ok
Yep, still seeing you in Google Reader!
Got you blog – as well as an add for iDateAsian.com which seems a tad out of place on your site…
“Hands up everyone who can’t hear me.”
Am I the only person who finds it hilarious that you’re making a post asking if people can see the post?
I use Google Reader and you know that feed is working based on others’ replies. I’m posting anyway because you have mentioned once or twice that you like getting comments to know people are reading
Got through email!
I got mine via email! Granted, 18 hours after you posted this, but I got it nonetheless!
erm… not getting anything
Not sure what the RSS is… and it said that you deactivated the email subscription.
Not sure how to update stuff.
I got zip..nada.. sad face…
As a loyal reader of this blog, and as an official volunteer for Google, my understanding is that Feedburner is not going away…but they are removing the inline ads aspect from it, according to Adsense. I have most of my blogs running through Feedburner, as it is the only way on Blogger to have easy email subscription, and I am was very concerned that I would have to do a lot of template editing in the near future but at this time, there is no reason to fear. Fingers crossed that Google doesn’t make me into a liar anytime soon.
You can do RSS feeds via Mail Chimp? Cool. I’ll need to look into that.
And dang it, you’re dumping Thesis? I was just about to email you and ask if you had updated to Thesis 2.0 yet and how the customizations went. LOL
