OT: Advice to PA PoliBlogs (and others)

FIRST, no matter HOW enticing or cool it looks

DO NOT SWITCH TO BLOGGER BETA!

Google has messed with the data organization on the feeds and many third parties are unable to read them. BloggerHelp ignores pleas and message board postings on the subject. Since I made the change, LeftyBlogs can't read my feed. Technorati had problems as well, but they have a larger force than LeftyBlogs and were able to make the adjustments. Others have had problems such as blogs disappearing; archive links no longer working; problems posting comments; problems signing in; and difficulty receivign comments from others. (Meanwhile, anyone who knows of an alternative to LeftyBlogs, lemme know. I am not holding my breath for Google to fix their crap and LeftyBlogs' one-man show seems a bit o'erwhelmed by all this.)

Second, BlogRolling is having trouble seeing updates on many blogs. Their Help people have been responsive and are trying to figure it out. In the meantime, you might want to consider manually pinging BlogRolling periodically (here). That way, you'll get noticed when folks like me who have their Blogroll set to move recent updates to the top 'o the list.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled mayhem . . . .

I was advised to comment as anonymous. This is a test.
