Thank you for your support.

First, if you happen to subscribe to this site, my thanks.  When I told my brother that there were people out there who actually signed up for my blog on purpose to read it, he looked at me kind of funny.
Of course, he looked at me kind of funny when I told him I had a blog in the first place.  Also when he realized I had more than one spinning wheel.
But that's what little brothers are for, the mocking. 

I've been having a wee bit of trouble in the past weeks with my feeds and no one can seem to find the trouble.  Basically there are 3 feeds provided by the Typepad and one works better than the others and that seems to just be the way things are.  And even though Bloglines and Newsgator picked them all up just fine for years, now two of them are timing out on the pick up and that's the way things are NOW and no one can tell me why.

So.

If it seems like I haven't been posting much and then you look and there are three or four you've never seen, chances are you use one of these two feeds:

http://enchantingjuno.typepad.com/knit/index.rdf
http://enchantingjuno.typepad.com/knit/rss.xml

If you would like to actually get the updates you are signed up for, might I suggest this instead:

http://enchantingjuno.typepad.com/knit/atom.xml

In whatever aggregator you use, click the edit function and paste the 'atom' url over the others and update.

I have also signed up for feedburner, so you can use this one:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/EnchantingJuno

In theory it consolidates them all and solves the problem, but I dunno yet, I've only been signed up for five minutes.

as some others, i use google reader and have had no difficulty reading for months.

but i also see that it's the ... atom.xml extension... so maybe that's no help at all. :)

oh cool; i learned a little something i didn't know (yes, i am web brain-dead; practically illiterate). and yay, i was already using the good feed.

[Eva]

hehehe... according to bloglines you have 477 subscribers... how about a little reality check for Bro-Dear??? I have one of those pests too, and I'm waiting til I have 100 readers on bloglines to tell him about my blog hehehe.

Cheers Eva

The atom.xml feed has been working fine in Bloglines in the past week. You are coming through loud and clear. I don't think my siblings would know what a knitting blog is, so yeah, there would be funny looks involved.

I love reading your blog, so i think i should thank you, no? So thank you.. I don't think i've missed any entries on Bloglines, but i'll check and will adjust my subscription if needed.

[Anne]

I have Sage, and I've been seeing your updates pretty regularly. (As a matter of fact... You've been posting frequently lately! Yay!)

[Kathy]

Also getting you the whole time :-)

[Stephanie]

I have been getting you this whole time.
(Both literally and figuratively.)

This is completely unrelated to how tricksie feeds can be, but my webmail account is far away, and I just found out I may be spending a fair amount of time in NJ for a very good reason. Woot with me! Woot!

I don't know what feed Google Reader picks up, but I haven't had any troubles. (And your title has me thirsty for a wine cooler.)

[Kristy]

I've been having trouble recently, too. Google Reader doesn't seem to be picking me up correctly, and I haven't seen any hits from them on my stats. But bloglines seems to be working fine. Strange.

Your post did show up on Google Reader for me. I don't think I've missed any.

I have bloglines and I've been getting updates - I've noticed when I subscribe that the atom feed is the one to go with and if someone is using blogger it's better to subscribe from the blog when possible. When I first signed up, the lag bothered me - I would freak out that it wasn't working. Calmed down since then.

If you think people in general (relatives are more likely to understand our foibles, surely?) are giving you funny looks when they discover you're a blogger, try telling them you post on Usenet... they're backing away even as I explain that, despite the media hype, we're not all axe-murderers or worse.
If you and people like you didn't blog, I'd never have started spinning. No, go further back. I'd never have discovered hand-dyed yarn. I'd never have started knitting again.

Thank you. Thank you very much. (My husband, who pays some of the cost of my fibre addiction, is less likely to be grateful.)

Dear Ms. Juno, It is Greek like this post that stops me every time I start thinking that maybe I should start a blog. I just don't grok it and, quite frankly, I don't have the time or interest to learn what appears to be a whole other skill set. I keep thinking that I don't have enough knitting/spinning/weaving time as it is; why start something that will just eat up more of that scarce time. But I want to join in all the blog fun! What is a busy, blogless, non-geek to do?! ;)
