Have you noticed that it was a little lonesome on the blog the last couple of days? I did. Last night, I figured out why — my latest posts weren’t showing up as links on the main and opinion pages of thestate.com.
Consequently, there’s been nobody here but you regulars who come to the blog to see what’s here, rather than being pulled straight in to fresh posts. That’s one reason why there have hardly been any comments — or, more telling, page views — on any posts after this one, way back on Tuesday.
Apparently, it was a systemwide problem that, I’m happy to say, seems to be fixed.
But I’m still worried about a message I got from one of the tech gurus ‘splaining the problem: "not sure what’s happening but the rss feeds from the blogs is choking the rss
feed grabber that constructs those headline lists on thestate.com."
I don’t who was or wasn’t grabbing my rss, or choking my feeder, but I’m glad they quit doing it.

Uh-oh, maybe I spoke too soon. Kelly at thestate.com just told me not to celebrate yet:
I pass this on to recruit y’all in giving me a heads-up if you run into problems, particularly with that script-loading problem that was preventing my main page from loading properly a few days back.
If you have a problem, just post a note here. I’ll check periodically.
I have nothing at all of substance to add, other than to say that I noticed the problem and promptly ignored it, but I had to post in appreciation of your pun.
Thanks, Wally, I liked it too. It would be better if it SOUNDED funny read out loud, but I like a visual, typographical play on words as well…
I can’t even imagine anyone grabbing your rss.
Choking your feeder, that’s a little different.
But, still, it’s something I’d just rather not think about.
