The re-design of my blog, my creative child, went well. Only two people complained about the new design, everybody else who wrote me loved it.

The collapse and rebirth of my blog feed has not been as simple.

Although I am told by the tech people that the new feed is working beautifully, my e-mail suggests some people are still having trouble getting their daily feed from the new feed company, Specific Feeds.

I am paying monthly rates for this new feed, and am happy to do it, but I wish everyone was happier, and some are not. There is not an awful lot I can do about it from this end. Every check says the system is working well (I get it every morning promptly at 4 a.m.).

it is hard for me to see loyal readers struggle to get their blog sent to them, I know it is even harder for them. Technology is such a mixed bag of blessings and troubles and frustrations.

But the truth is some people just aren’t getting it. We can’t really know, these reports are few and it may be that some computer programs and devices are just no compatible with the advanced designs in the blog and the feed.

The tech people say this could be because of many things – their browser, device, the age of their equipment, the condition and date of their software. We just can’t know from  here, and I am an idiot when it comes to tech problems.

Sometimes people find the blog is being delivered to their trash. Sometimes they cancel their mail subscriptions and re-enter their e-mail. One thing that has worked has been contacting Specific Feed directly, they do have a help team and their customer service seems good.

You can e-mail them at https://www.specificfeeds.com/pages/contact_us. They will help you, if it is possible.

Some of the people having problems have decided to get the blog manually, to Bookmark it, Google it, or just type bedlamfarm.com into their browsers. These methods seem to be working for everyone.

I will keep monitoring this on our end, please feel free to let me know if you have trouble. I will pass your issues along. I work hard on the blog and so many of you have stayed with me all these years, it stabs the heart to see your frustration.

If there is good news it is that the blog is healthy and alive, and publishing just about every day. Thanks for hanging in there with me, it is still free and easy to find.
