So somehow, without me poking at things, the LJ feed of my blog began to work again, although Karine and I both tested the Google Reader feed and it’s still dead. [ETA: No! IT WORKS NOW TOO! That means the feed in general is working again, somehow!] Feed aggregators originally choked on the weird error message that appears at the top of the template and I couldn’t eradicate no matter what I did, and I effectively fell of the face of the earth for people relying on those readers. So at least my adoring LJ public will again read the scintillating minutiae of my life, which I am sure they are terribly excited about.
Seriously, I did nothing. I bashed at this problem for so long back when the WP upgrade broke things, and gave up. Some sort of cosmic shift must have occurred overnight. Of course, that means it might vanish again at any time but I’m thankful for what I can get right now.
If you read Owls’ Court via RSS feed on LJ, please remember that it’s a feed and I don’t get notification of comments on it. I’ll try to remember to check, though.
ETA: HANG ON.
There is no error message at the top any more. The footer is in the right place. Everything is displaying like it’s supposed to.
I am absolutely flummoxed. What, was I hacked in order to be fixed or something? I worked to find the problem for months and gave up for two years, and now everything suddenly mysteriously works?
I’m taking what I can get. Thank you, universe.
Hey, can people who usually can’t comment because the comment box doesn’t show up try leaving a few words, please? If the weird there/not-there comment box problem is gone too, then I have some serious libations to pour for whichever god is in charge of my blog and software.
So the RSS feed works in Google Reader now! Let’s hope this is permanent!
commenting just to see if the too many comments problem still persists or not.
checked the house post with 10 comments. Looks like we’re free of resizing shenanigans in order to read some comments now too. Yay!
OMG YAYINGS
I am seriously perplexed, but too happy to examine the gift equine’s teeth too closely.
Comments displaying 100% properly for me, and allowing me to comment! Yay!
YAY!
This may actually be working. I am, however, going through Firefox. Will have to see if it works on my employer’s computer.
Looks good on WIN7/IE8. Wo0t!
EXTRA YAY! Wow, if IE can read it, we have a winner.
Wait, I thought you were going Mac. Or are you still on your pretty little HP, waiting for your Mac to arrive?
I’m now getting undue pleasure out of shoving that *&%#ing comment box down the page.
Run, little comment box, run!
Sorry ’bout that. Whee!
Not only did this work from my work, my name and email was filled in.
Woo.
Hurrah! Much, much is my love for you, Fox.
15th!
I wonder how far this can go before we really do break it…
Please to not be breaking it again. Please. I would cry.
I am insanely pleased to be seeing you in the LJ feed again!! Seriously. Much love.
Yes, now there is no interrupting of the comments by the Write a Comment part of your blog. I thought it was just my machine doing this. Good.
You’re back! Yay!
Viewing from my pretty but larger laptop/desktop-equivalent HP. Big Mac arrives… tomorrow! (Fingers crossed and seriously knocking on wood.)
BTW, comments feed is working but there is a significant delay. Just so you know, and not that you should be even thinking about doing anything about it.
HA HA! I’m in!
