Hi Everybody, no card today but I wanted to let you know that today I spent a little bit of time trying to figure out what happened at Feedblitz. I had about 650 email subscribers at the beginning of the week and today it was down to about 530, another 50 – 60 were being classified as undeliverable. What!!?! I looked at the list and about one hundred of you were in the waiting to be deleted queue. I looked at the list of people and some of my very best friends and most diehard lovely fans were on the list. I was distressed!!! Then more distressed because I don’t know how long things have been going awry – I rarely log in and look at Feedblitz stats. I lose a subscriber every now and again, but it’s never more than a handful.
I reinstated as many as I could – it seems that they have to be done one by one, aaarrrgghh!! I will also be checking Feedblitz on a daily basis, I’ve never had a problem before, but want to make sure everything returns to normal. I would ask you to please check your subscriptions. If was your desire to have AmazingPaperGrace included in your daily Feedblitz, please sign up again if the subscription no longer appears on your list. Email me from my contact page if you are having any problems. I can also check any name that is sent to me to make sure it still is active or not.
If you have a blog and had the same experience as me, I’d love to know and hope you’ll leave a comment so that if we have the same subscribers they’ll know to check your subscription too! I sent nice but pretty lengthy note to Support at Feedblitz, and would encourage any other blogger that had the same experience to send an email as well; feel free to note my loss as well if it helps. If there are similar experiences out there that are reported to Feedblitz, I’m sure it will help them identify the source of the problem and rule out individual blogs.
Please note the problem referred to was with Feedblitz (which are email subscriptions). There is currently no problem with Feedburner (subscriptions through your reader).
ETA: Giving credit where credit is due!! I received a prompt email from Feedblitz explaining that a server was having issues and that all should be restored now. Thank you Feedblitz for your speedy assistance.
Mine is doing the same, Becca. Not sure what’s going on!
There is certainly something wrong – I don’t have a blog but I subscribe to yours and many others and I didn’t get any feeds today or one other day last week!
Hope it all gets worked out. Love receiving your updates. I’ll be back to visit with or without the Feedblitz though. Love your beautiful creations!
Becca,
I don’t recall missing any feeds this past week, and I know that I did not unsubscribe. I definitely want to keep receiving your new posts! I consider you a close friend, I would never be disloyal and desert you.
I hope you get it figured out. Don’t stress though.
Hugs, Lisa Atha
I subscribe to a few blogs and some have mentioned the same problem. But I have received all of my updates without a problem, Just lucky I guess.
I’m so sorry you are having problems with Feedblitz. Hope it all works out, as I LOVE your blog. Keep up the good work.
Becca, I seem to be getting your updates and I certainly want to. I love
everything you do. Good luck in getting it all straightened out.
Joan
Hi Becca, I’m so glad you posted this. Yes, mine is doing the same thing. Also, I’ve noticed I’m not getting updates to some of the blogs I’ve subscribed to.
Becca,
Just a quick note…
I’m getting your updates with no problems.
Thanks for taking care of us.

Becca, I just had to go in and check my subscriptions with Feed Blitz because I wasn’t getting any feeds from them for over a week. Don’t know what the problem is, but I would definitely not want to lose yours!
Gosh, that isn’t good. When I was on blogger I noticed the same thing, but didn’t know what to do. I left it alone and it self corrected. It is indeed strange. Don’t worry, if I think I’m missing your subscription, I will scout you out–you can’t hide from me–LOL!
Dear Becca, I check on you first thing every morning. I wouldn’t want to lose you but I, too would find you. Your work is just far to beautiful to miss.
I have your blog on my list of favorites and I check your blog daily so I don’t miss anything. Lauren Meader posted she was having problems with her subscriptions as well so it must be a Feedblitz problem. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful creations. Ann Lind
No problem here, honey. Don’t worry most of the people that love your blog would find you.
Was wondering why I haven’t heard from you! I love your designs and look forward to each and every item you create!
LOL – That’s why I LOVE using Google Reader!!! Glad to hear it was a server issue and nothing you had to worry about :-)
I think there was a BIG hiccup with Feedblitz lately. I have not gotten any of my normal blog message for like 3 days! I have been missing everyone! Hopefully they have gotten things fixed, I hate it when I don’t have MAIL!!!!!
sorry you were having a problem but seems like it’s all good again!! i’ve gone to reading things on google reader so I never miss!!
Wow Becca – I love your cards and I especially love that I still seem to be subscribed though I didn’t get the Oct. 20th entry emailed to me.
Just to be on the safe side I went through the sign up process anyway. And there I discovered a box to be checked I’ve never seen before: ” I confirm it is my choice to subscribe to this newsletter” if yes check the box and the subscription answer came back after the second attempt (second because I hadn’t noticed the box waiting to be checked) that I was already subscribed! Yay!!
I would hate to miss your wonderful creative talents.
Thanks for sharing – Jean
