A pet peeve
Hey! Bloggers! If you’re going to switch to using Feedburner feeds in place of those auto-generated by your blogging software, and if you’re going to turn off your redirects to the new feed, can you PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY AND GOOD put an announcement on your blog BEFORE the change? So that those of us who are subscribed to your old feed URL know what happened? And don’t have to wait until we realize we haven’t seen any posts from you in a while before we go looking for your feed all over again? ‘Cause if you wait until after the change is complete to tell us, we’re not going to see the announcement.
Yeah, that’s right, I’m looking at you, Recruiting.com and Jarvis.

Sorry about that - and so you say that you’re snarky at times?

Yeah, sometimes.

That’s what you get for reading Jarvis.
And I love the FeedBurner, but I’m surprised at the people who are willing to give them control of their feeds. They make it easy to keep your feed URL, people….and then you don’t have to beg all your readers to change to the new url later on when you leave FeedBurner.
