Getting Picked Up By Feed Readers’ Problems

I realize I have a lot of readers through the feed reader Planet ISKCON.

For some reason feeds it takes from WordPress.com (which includes mine and several others) suddenly a couple of weeks ago started not using the post title but either the url of the originating site of the post or the title of a jpg if one was included.

Normally I am very happy with WordPress.com as you can schedule posts and it has other bells and whistles I like but, despite reporting this in both the user Forums and to Support, it hasn’t been corrected.

So for the meantime, I will include the title in the text for PI readers.

I feel the need for this because I have the illusion that I sometimes have clever titles that are essential for setting up the text portion of the post. Today’s title is not a case in point.

At New Vrindaban Bloggers there was a different problem — the title would show but not the text of the post. There I use the WordPress software with a plugin to collect the feeds, but have now updated the plugin and it works fine.

Better actually. It is now no longer mandatory to use a Chron job to get it to update. That had been a major hurdle when I first set it up and I was blocked for weeks on it until Manesh from Florida passed through New Vrindaban and solved it for me.
