Quick question today...do you subscribe to my blog using google reader?? It looks like my readers all suddenly disappeared and I have no idea how it happened. I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with my .com vs my typepad??
Any way, I wanted to ask y'all if any of you are reading this through Reader. Or if maybe you USED to read through reader but then your feed disappeared?
HELP!! :) any advice/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
xoxo

Yep I read your blog through google reader:)

I read via google reader and I can't see anything that has changed. When I clicked on the link to comment, it brought me to your .com. Hope that helps!

Google Reader here and you're coming in just fine!
Posted by: michelle t | 11/18/2011 at 11:05 AM
I read through reader, always have. Just updated my link when you moved to the .com. I think you might have lost some viewers just to the fact that more people are using blog readers than ever before. People are catching on, and that just means they still love you, just differently.
Here's a chuckle: I just tried to rub off some spots from my screen, over in the sidebar. Ahem, they're part of your background. oy.

Hi Steph. I received this post in my Google Reader. I also looked back and none of your posts were skipped. Guess it's just playing a trick on you.

I use internet explorer. I have never heard of google reader, but I am not the internet expert that's for sure!
Posted by: Stacey | 11/18/2011 at 11:18 AM
just want to add that I think there is a difference depending on if the person subscribed via RSS feed, or via becoming a follower.
not sure what that difference would be, or which I did since it's been so long though
Posted by: Megan A | 11/18/2011 at 11:19 AM
I read through google reader, I know they have recently made changes to it so maybe that has something to do with it.
Posted by: MonicaMcNeill | 11/18/2011 at 11:19 AM

I read your blog through Google Reader and have done so the entire time I've been reading it...not sure exactly how long that has been but I know you only had 2 daughters when I started reading, so it's been at least a little while!

another google reader here :)
Posted by: Eileen | 11/18/2011 at 11:55 AM
Google Reader user here - no problems with your feed. Clicked through to comment, and no problem with that either. Of course if your feed has disappeared from some other sort of reader or something, I suppose you might not hear from those people, since they may not be seeing your post?
Posted by: JenRay | 11/18/2011 at 11:59 AM
I read through Google Reader and eagerly await each of your posts. If it disappeared I would find you!!!
Posted by: Gail Beattie | 11/18/2011 at 12:01 PM

I'm reading through google read and haven't had any issues with your particular blog.
Posted by: Tina | 11/18/2011 at 12:52 PM
Hi Stephanie -
Google reader was updated about 2 weeks ago. Is that about the time you noticed the change? Maybe the reader metrics are not getting back to you?
I subscribed a long time ago - and the URL is the same. (So if someone wanted to subscribe to you in Google Reader today this is what they should enter: http://www.stephaniehowell.com/my_weblog/)
Posted by: Shannon | 11/18/2011 at 12:57 PM

Posted by: diana | 11/18/2011 at 01:59 PM
I read primarily through Reader (but occasionally click a link from your Twitter feed or Facebook -- just depends where I'm "hanging out" online.)
Posted by: Laura | 11/18/2011 at 02:00 PM
Google Reader but thinking about using Feedly because of the digi show recommendation last week. I wondered if people started using Feedly because of the recommendation to read their google reader posts and maybe that doesn't show up.
Posted by: L Squared | 11/18/2011 at 02:07 PM
I read your blog through Google Reader, once in a while I'll link off of FB. No issues that I'm aware of. :)

I read it by Google Reader, no change!
Posted by: alex m | 11/18/2011 at 02:24 PM
I read through Reader. soooooooo easy! I do wonder how that affects a person's "stats" though. And I certainly never see sidebar advertising, which in the past played a big role in the ways blogs operate.
