Blog Issues

Anyone running bloglines for your feed reader will know what I'm talking about in this post.  I'm not sure if there were problems with google reader or not.  For some reason bloglines has been pulling my old posts and marking them as new.  It seems to happen each time I post something new to my blog.  I think I found the error. 
If you were having these problems let me know if they are still happening and I will continue to dig.

Thank You,

Atom & RSS Feed Issues

Alrighty everyone.  I think I've figured out what the problem was with my feed.  Apparently the code that was used to insert photo's on my blog was causing some readers to not pick up the feed properly.  It all has to do with how high the security is on the reader you are using.  Apparently Google and Bloglines security settings are on the higher side.  I understand why the settings are high, these readers are trying to protect their users which I for one support wholeheartedly.

Now that I know it's what's causing the problem I can fix it before I post.  All I need to do is wipe out a little bit of the code that causes the picture to pop up in another window.  So now if you click on a photo it will open up in the same browser window.  Unless I can figure around that without causing a whole lot of work for me, unless you all like it opening in the same window.  Let me know what you think.  Do you prefer that links and pictures open in another window or tab?  Or Do you prefer that the links and pictures open up in the same window or tab? 

Let me know if this helps or not.  I think that is what it causing the problems.  I've ran my feed through Feed Validator and everything is checking out perfectly for both Atom and RSS.

Feed Issues

Is anyone having problems with their readers not updating my blog correctly?  I know for awhile there I would post something and then the readers like bloglines and google would take 5-8 hours to pull the post...normally they post within a few minutes but could take an 30 minutes to an hour.  There seem to be problems where some readers are not picking up my feed at all for days at a time.  Can you all let me know if you've been experiencing these problems and which reader you are using?  Hopefully we can get this figured out.  I thought that deleting the feed out of the reader and hitting the subscribe link on my blog would fix the problem, but it hasn't fixed all of them.

Thanks Bunches!

Blog Problems

It came to my attention that my blog was messed up when viewed in IE 7, oops I mean certain browsers.  ;)
I played the process of elimination game and wouldn't you know it, the problem child was of course the last thing I removed from my blog.  The problem was my Work in Progress tracker in my sidebar.  Apparently IE 7, I mean certain browsers didn't like the code that I had put in.
I'm glad I'm a Mac user.  :)
If anyone running their blog on Typepad wants the code for the WIP tracker, leave me a comment letting me know you want it and I'll send it to you in email. 
If anyone else has a problem with the blog drop me a comment or an email and I'll see if I can't get it fixed.  :~)
