Hey subscribers! First, thanks for subscribing, I’m glad to have you reading YouMakeMedia!

Second, due to an error on my part, some of you (specifically those who use the Live Bookmarks feature in Firefox, or RSS in Safari – possibly others) might not be reading the blog from the “preferred” feed.

The subscriber feed that comes installed with my blog software is being routed through another service called FeedBurner. I’ll likely go into some detail about how FeedBurner can help you in the future, but for now I’ll say that at its core, FeedBurner allows me to more easily determine some factors such as the number of readers I have.

Unfortunately, due to that error on my part some of you might not be subscribed to the FeedBurner feed, and instead subscribed to the one that I can’t track. This is frustrating because it gives me innaccurate readership numbers, and make figuring out things like advertising prices difficult.

I’d appreciate it if you could check you feed reader, just to check and make sure you have the right feed subscribed. You won’t need to check if you used the two icons on the sidebar of this page – however if your feed reader uses an “auto-discover” feature, it will likely be set to the wrong feed.

Below are the two correct URLs that you’ll want to subscribe to:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/youmakemedia – for entries only
http://feeds.feedburner.com/youmakemedialinks – for the link blog only

I’m sorry to cause this problem in the first place. It was an error on my part, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. I’ve resolved the problem now though, and in the future feed readers with “auto-discover” enabled will get the proper feeds sent to them.

Thank you,
Chris
