Apologies

I am very behind on all the blogs I follow. I’m trying to catch up with you all, but it’s feeling like a losing battle. It may be time to just hit the “reset” button and move forward. Be patient with me. Recent events have thrown me for a loop.

Weirdness

Well, I have my daily digest back. Yay! But now WordPress is not showing “likes” on my latest post (Andrea & Andrew) and yet, the little pop up at the bottom of my monitor has told me that a lot of you do like it. Very odd.

Grrr!

Well, I’ve gone through all my subscriptions and “unfollowed” and “followed” again. I’ve gone into my reader as edited my list to receive all posts “instantly” via email. That seems to have done the trick. But, alas, it appears that receiving posts via digests no longer works for me. I tried to change one blog I follow that posts multiple times a day back to receiving it as a daily digest and I did not receive the daily digest notice that usually arrives in my inbox close to midnight. I went back in, readjusted to receive each post instantly.

I’m frustrated. The point of the daily digest was to keep the amount of email in my inbox to a semi-manageable level. Oh well.

Sigh . . .

An update on the subscription problem

Well, thank goodness you are all still showing up in my Reader. I’m slowly going through my blog roll and “unfollowing” and “refollowing” you all. I hope that works. But it does not appear that I am receiving any of the blogs I subscribe to as a digest. GRRRR.

Edited to add: All the trouble started when I converted my gmail account to the new format that includes tabs. Suddenly I stopped receiving all the blogs I “followed” but am still receiving all blogs to which I subscribed via email.

While I was sleeping

This humble blog passed 400 followers. For all of you “real” ones, and you know who you are, thank you! You aren’t trying to sell me anything; you just like my work. And I am humbled.

To my Washington D.C. and New York City savvy followers – your dining recommendations requested!

Sweetie and I will be in D.C. next week Tuesday (night) through Sunday afternoon and need some advice on good places to eat. Reasonable prices and reasonably close to the Metro. Vegetarian friendly (for me) is a plus. We want to eat at local establishments – no chains.

Then we head to New York City on Sunday night and will be there three days. I’ve already gotten reservations for Monday night, but any recommendations for good places for breakfast / lunch / dinner would be welcome. We are staying in Tribeca, if that helps, but will be seeing the usual sights roughly based on Days 1, 2 and 3 of this plan.

Thanking you in advance!

WordPress and Comment Notifications

There seems to be an issue with comments. I’m not being notified when people reply to my comments on their blogs. I hope you are being notified of my replies to your comments on mine. Of course, I have no way of knowing.

In the meantime, I hope WordPress gets it worked out.
