If you've enjoyed this blog, how about buying me a cup of coffee?
Jilly, I don’t know what you’ve done with your RSS feed, but it works much better than the old one. That is, in my Google Reader your entries show up as a list, but to actually click the links I have to come to your site; in the old feed I would just click on the links and go directly to their URLs. As a result I missed, for example, your amazing site upgrade (I’m jealous) and who knows what all. Anyway, just wanted you to know that I’ve been a loyal reader who never visits, but now I’ll be dropping by most days.
Thanks for all the good work.
Love the new look for the blog, Jilly. Very spiffy. Thinking about you and hoping you’re not feeling too horrible.
Thanks. I’m getting splogged with the full RSS feed & don’t want that to happen anymore. I figure if people can’t click to read it over here, oh well toughie for them.
