1874 Blogflu Virus
Yes, there is a pandemic of bloggers falling into the culverts of the information highway. Today I clicked on Northern Lutheran, Off Shore Fisherman, and Infinite Library and all are dead. At least, if you said you were taking a break in August and didn't come back, that's a pretty strong message by mid-December, don't you think? Kind of suspicious too, because I think they were all Christians based on my subject arrangement. It's really tricky to lose a blogger. When Lutheran in a Tipi folded her tent, someone scooped up her URL, so when I didn't get her removed in a timely fashion, I was misleading some of my faithful readers. PJ had a great cooking blog and must have choked on something--she reappears once in awhile in my comment box. Of course, she actually earns a living writing. Six figures. Shoe of Librarians Happen truly has been ill (no joke here) and is no longer posting there, but I see her occasionally at LISNews. Babs was on the critical list, missing for a month, but now has her 2 year old posting for her. Ambra is as good as gone. Rosabelle hasn't posted a word since mid-November. And Murray hasn't posted a thing since January in "Brain Drain." I guess it was.

You're still here! You haven't been showing up on my RSS feeds lately, so I checked in to see if you ahd mentioned going on holidays.
I'm back. The last feed I have for you is 1836 -- Nov 27, I believe -- A Favorite Cookbook?
So, here's another thing. Medscape is blocking my messages form getting through to you. Both these comments and a separate email from me, apparently, got bounced by Medscape.
It's probably all those fancy things you've put on your template. It's throwing out folks? But they're really cute. I haven't changed my security settings on Medscape.
It only looks fancy, but there's no bizarre there; the basic coding is all Blogger's. I am having no problems with anyone else's site. I am getting their feeds and not getting any bounces.
nothing bizarre *g*
Medscape is supposed to alert me when I have a comment, and see these 6 comments are not listed, nor are comments on 2 of my other blogs. So something is messed up with that system. I don't know why the RSS feed isn't working. I'll e-mail blogger--should hear back in a few months.
Sometimes, in a effort to reduce spam, companies begin doing funny things with email. Maybe they haven't whitelisted Blogger and Gmail. After all, nobody much has ever heard of those outfits.
It's a simple matter of quality not quantity.

Murray, you are truly the most subtle old friend I know. Enjoy the golf in Florida.
