Everyone's doing it

Dear beloved readers,

Sadly, the AGRDT blog infrastructure has been having some difficulties of a technical nature over the past couple of days. Mainly, we've been having some 'pinging' problems. For those of you non-bloggers, pinging means our blog is refusing to consistently notify affiliate aggregation sites like Alberta Blogs, Progressive blogs, Technorati of when we have a new post, so it looks like we do not post very regularly on those blogrolls. This is sad for us, because technically inept we may be, but slackers we are not.

Rest assured we are working on rectifying the problem. However, in the meantime we do have one suggestion suggestion for you: subscribe to our blog's feed! We just created a fantastic new Feedburner feed (that works with every platform) and a spiffy new graphic to aid with your subscription process. (For those of you who don't spend the better part of your waking hours on the internet, here's some information about 'feeds' is available here and here). If feeds aren't your style you can also sign up for email updates (in the side bar near the bottom), this is brought to you via Feedburner as well.

Finally, if this all sounds too complex, that's cool - we understand. Just remember to check back regularly as we publish new content almost daily. As always, feel free to email us any feedback you may have.

Sincerely,

The AGRDT Team

It's not your blog's fault. Blogrolling.com, which is responsible for updating blogrolls, is on the fritz again, and no one there even looks at support requests.

Their updating/pinging service had been out of service for several months, then suddenly it started working again, but that only lasted a few short weeks, and now it's broken again.

Don't even bother to contact their support -- they're a bunch of bozos (look at their forum: it's full of spam messages).

Blogrolling.com must be replaced by a more professional and more reliable service, because this is becoming ridiculous.

Thanks for the heads up, WP. That makes us feel better.
