No more bloglines?

June 9, 2008

While I don’t understand it, I’ve just been told that Bloglines does not seem to be updating any Edublog posts unless I am an Edublog Supporter (which means I have to pay $$ to use Edublogs.). While I like the Edublogs platform, I do not understand this. It feels like I have holes in my reader now. I did notice recently that some of my favorite bloggers that use Edublogs were not all showing up in my reader. Apparently it is a issue with the feed from Edublogs and not Bloglines. That hardly seems fair since I like Bloglines. Apparently if you subscribe to my blog using the feedburner feed, it will come through to Bloglines. (It is the first feed listed on my sidebar.) So if you like to read me in a reader, there are 2 choices:

1) Use Google Reader to manage blog subscriptions, or

2) Use the Feedburner link in the upper right of my side bar to continue reading me through Bloglines.

I myself am going to bail and go to Google Reader, which I have not liked near as much, even though many of my friends use it. It also makes me just a tad put out with Edublogs again. I have webspace. I guess I need to look at moving on over to it, and host my own site. If I have to pay for it, it may as well be mine and mine alone. Bummer.
