Poetry News For November 13, 2008
ALERT: I have stopped using Feedburner to distribute my RSS feed, due to continuing problems/unresponsiveness to my customer service inquiries. The latest saga was an out-of-control Feedburner bot, which crashed my webhost’s server, where this blog resides.
This is my RSS feed address, which will no longer redirect to Feedburner. I think they have a courtesy redirect, but that eventually will time out. Unless you subscribed directly to the Feedburner feed, you should be OK. And in that case, Feedburner will eventually warn you.
Also, if you get this blog via email (through Feedburner) it no longer works. You can re-subscribe if you want, but you have to sign up at RSSFwd to complete the process. Sorry. Between Feedburner blowing me off, and Technorati dropping this blog from their indices because it doesn’t measure up to their standards, I’m getting the feeling that Web 2.0 hates me. 
Last chance to vote in my lit mag subscription poll.
