Important Request for Feedback

Sharing Options

All,

I have heard from several of you that your subscription notices to this blog have konked out, that they are, as the French say, le dead, and are now lying on their backs in the pasture with all four hooves toward the sky. I wanted to see if this problem were limited to a mere handful or if others are having the same difficulty.

I included a beautiful picture to increase the chances that you would read the important request next to it.

Still getting your posts in Feedly. The iOS app continues to be temperamental (crashes) but seems to come back around after a day or so.

Weekly recap email doesn’t come anymore. iOS app is hit or miss with notifications.

I get an occasional update badge on my iPhone, but it’s not consistent. When I do get them, they’re often not available to view, so I end up using the Christkirk when I can’t view them in the barking dog app. I prefer the barking dog app because I can view comments.

App on my iPhone crashes. I still get updates but on some days (not everyday) it takes me several minutes of fidgeting with the app (closing it out/refreshing) before I can finally access it

I get notices on my iPad, but there doesn’t seem to be any comments posted on your blogs except this one lately.

This is the first time I have ever been able to post a comment from the app. I am not ever able to see comments either.
I get notifications on my iPhone about 50% of the time.

The app disappeared after a recent OS update. Once I reinstalled everything has worked fine.

Trump would fix this if he were President. Of course, he specifically said that he would NOT fix bugs in blogging software, but that was five minutes ago – he’s changed his mind since then.

And even if he doesn’t fix it, it’s not like Cruz would do anything about it – what with that Goldman Sachs big business New York Values wife of his.

Trump 2016!

Suddenly there’s no white space on the left side of the page. Have you been messing with things?

I’ve tried to subscribe to the mailing list, but I’ve never gotten any
emails. The system thinks I’m already subscribed from this email
address. I just subscribed with my work email address and tried to
change my profile to use this address, but, alas, it won’t let me, as it
says that this address is already subscribed.

Yes. My subscription is bereft of life.

I think I subscribed, and no longer get email. However I mostly use social media to find out about new posts (I get a notification when you post a link on FB).

I stopped caring about my subscription when the iPhone app wouldn’t allow comments through Disqus.

I believe I subscribed several months ago, but come to think of it I never received an email from the blog.

I did get a few e-mails back when I originally subscribed, but haven’t gotten one in ages.

I too have tried to sign up to receive email updates but have never received one.

Subscription notices are one thing, but I’m still feeling very Amish about always having to actually type in html markup tags inside my comments just to format basic quotations and to get bold text. A nice comment editor with a toolbox of text options would be very 20th century (let alone the 21st century).

So there’s finally been an indictment related to the Planned Parenthood videos. David Daleiden, the producer of the videos was indicted on two counts:

1. “felony charges of tampering with a government record” because we know how important it is to the government to prosecute those who mishandle sensitive information.

2. “a misdemeanor count related to purchasing human organs.” Yes, you read that right.

Every time I think I’ve reached the bottom of the rabbit hole …

George said it first: “In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

and tampering…I think they mean “Hey, we had our lies and disinformatsiya working real good and then you come along with truth…didn’t you folks learn from Pilate about that truth thing?”

Yes, I saw this. Might be a bit early to know what the full story is but I would be most interested on commentary.

I stopped getting the e-mails awhile back. It was my preferred way to keep up with you.

I have tried to successful,y subscribe multiple times with no luck. I prefer email notifications. If you could fix the problem, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks for the blog.

I also signed up to the mailing list and no emails ever arrived. Doesn’t matter cause I check the blog regularly anyhow.

I’ve subscribed a couple of times, the first time getting nothing and the second time getting emails a few times, and then nothing.

I lost my subscription weeks and weeks ago, and my efforts to reinstate it have been fruitless. Have I been banned for some reason? I try to be good….

I have re-subscribed twice, but am not receiving the posts via email. I have to come to the blog itself.

I have signed up repeatedly for the past couple of years for your email subscription but have never received anything.

I’ve tried subscribing as well, with three different email addresses, and it doesn’t work.
