Once Again, Technology Hiccups

Edited: The issues appear to have been resolved, happily, and we should be back on track with the usual folderol. Thank you for your patience, and Kelly Phillips at Boost Interactive Media for her help.

Hello all. Once again I am having issues with email post notifications. I am not yet sure whether this is a software issue, i.e. to do with the WordPress plugin I use, or an email delivery issue, i.e. the email service providers like Yahoo and Google having decided that my blog posts are evil;). I’m working on the issue, but tech support is reeling under post-holiday demands.

If you happen to land here, and have been an email subscriber, and feel like giving me a little detail, i.e. what was the last post you received, it will be much appreciated. And otherwise, bear with me, I will not give up. I will be holding off on future posts until this is resolved.

  1. Wish I could remember last email I received. It has to be a couple of weeks at least. I just check sporadically. Don’t want to miss any posts.

  2. You’re on my blog list, can’t wait for email.

    Good luck, hope to hear from you soon.

    xo

  3. I have not received any email since November – except for two random Saturday deliveries. It’s been a disappointment, but I read your postings in my bookmarks file now.

    1. Thank you for hanging in there, and for the info on last posting. If you did receive Saturday posts, that may help diagnose the issues.

  4. 1000% IT dunce here, but bewildering problems [pinterest, twitter, facebook] have popped up here at my end as well. Perhaps unrelated, but Firefox has quickly/quietly replaced Google/search with Yahoo/search, so might there be similarly-upended/quietly-re-aligned browser issues at work in your situation?

    1. Firefox! Those bad children:). Here it seems to be configuration in the servers at my hosting company. Or so we believe at the moment.

  5. Dear Lisa
    Good luck resolving all those issues in technology, I am not sure about you, but for me, keeping up with the latest and greatest in technology, or, for that matter, basic maintenance, is always an adventure. An adventure, I might add, that usually leads to some form of my humiliation.

  6. Happy New Year, Lisa! Funny, I was just looking through my bookmarks and decided to click here, thinking that was a VERY long break from posting since I feel like the last time I heard from you was before Christmas.

    Glad to “see” you! I use a Mac with Firefox, so maybe that’s the problem? In any event, I will have some catching up to do on my day off.

  7. I haven’t had an email since your post of Dec13 & they aren’t in Spam because I check it regularly now . I was meaning to get round to sorting it out…..but just clicked on yr latest link in another style blog .

  8. Hi, Lisa

    It’s been many months since I’ve received a notification email. This has been second time for said issue; resubscribed a while ago and received sporadic notifications, but then the trickle faded into the sands. Fortunately, it’s ingrained habit now to check in with you.

  9. I received this one. Usually I remember that it is a Saturday and simply go looking for your posts. But to be honest I don’t remember when I’ve received and email. What program are you using?

  10. The last email missive I received was on 13 December 2014 – I thought you’d gone on a long seasonal break!

  11. Just so you know, McAfee says that they are blocking content from your website because it could be dangerous or suspicious on Jan. 15th, 2014. And, I haven’t gotten anything from you in over a month.

  12. Just wanted to add, you can schedule your post delivery down to 1/4 hour windows and it’s user friendly with WP. No plugins required.

    1. @Jennifer, Thank you. I”d already made the switch to Mailchimp – which is somewhat inconvenient to have to post at 8am instead of 7:30am, humph, but it will have to do for now!

  13. Hi Lisa,

    The last one before the excerpt one was 12/13/14. Even your technology glitches are sophisticated.

  14. It was November / December that I noticed your posts were not arriving in my email. I resubscribed a couple of times I think, then clicked through your facebook posts and also came on my own so I wouldn’t miss a post! I thought it was me! This post did arrive in my emails! Yay!

  15. Hello. This is the first time in a while that one of your posts has showed up in my email. I’m happy to see you!

  16. Same for me! I’ve been reading your blog for a couple of years and noticed around Christmas that I was no longer receiving them in my email. I also re-subscribed a couple of times, to no avail. Very happy to see you posts in my email again! :)
