Feedblitz and Typepad

If you have your blog on Typepad and use Feedblitz to deliver email updates to your readers, I highly recommend you check your Feedblitz account now.  It appears there may have been a communication error between Feedblitz and Typepad during last night's polling and many Typepad blogs were offline so no updates were delivered.

I figured this out when I got only one update in my inbox this morning.  Since I have over 60 Feedblitz subscriptions I knew something was wrong.

It's simple to get your blog back online. 

1. Log in to your Feedblitz account
2. In the box that says "Syndicated Feeds" you'll see immediately whether your feed is OK or has a red dot that says the feed could not be fetched
3. If your feed is offline, click on the "My Feeds" link to get your list of blog feeds.
4. On the right, you'll see a green check mark.  Click the green check mark to test your feed.
5. If everything is working, the red dot under the "State" column will turn green and you're back online.

A quick note to say that FeedBlitz's delay and large number of unreachable feeds earlier this morning was our (FeedBlitz's - now fixed) problem, not TypePad's.

Speaking of Feedblitz, I have recently unsubscribed to your notices because they have started coming separately. The reason I liked them before is that I could read them all together with others. The separate emails was an inconvenience. Might just be me, but thought I'd let you know why I unsubscribed. I really think the recipient should have the choice.
