Now With More Future

This is my first post using my NEW blog platform ... that I wrote myself!  I'd love it if you'd help me out this week testing it out.  Here are some of the things you can do:

- Subscribe to my blog blog's atom feed or rss feed in your feed reader of choice.  Leave a comment on this post to let me know which feed reader you use so I can make sure that all the major feed readers are being tested.  I'll be publishing posts this week asking you to comment when the post pops into your feed reader.

- Leave a comment on a post or two.  Let me know if the process doesn't work the way you expect it to.

- Click around. Visit my archives.  Look at the label links.  Use the "next" and  previous" links.  Let me know if anything is messed up.

Thank you *so* much for helping me out.  Once I'm sure everything is working right, I'll be switching the craft blog over, too. :)

I'm viewing from Firefox on a Windows XP machine. The content is below the column of ads on the left. Everything is left justified.

You are bitchin' like a Camero.

Alice, I'm using WinXP/IE7. Looks like your stylesheet isn't loading - I'm seeing the same as Michelle. You have my total respect for this venture though - good luck in ironing out the bugs!

Bloglines showed 5 new entries when I checked at 6:30 on Saturday, where there was only the one new one. Everything is looking great.

Hi there,
Couldn't suscribe via Bloglines, said there was no feed. Other than that, it looks great! I'm using Mac OS 10.5.2 and Camino.

Holy cow, you are my hero. I'm insanely impressed.

I'm on a Mac using Firefox, and I just subscribed via google reader with no problem. Looks fantastic! :)

I am on Firefox but Bloglines says you don't have RSS feed? I have no idea, I am so technologically-challenged.... HTH~

That's so awesome that you did this!

I tested trying to use my subscribe button. It shows no feed. But I know your feed is working because I saw this post and it showed four other older posts.

Oh and maybe it's just me, but I don't see your hearts. But of course I don't think I've ever seen hearts. But I know they're supposed to be hearts. I heart comments and I heart links. I just see a line instead of a heart.

I've subbed on bloglines - YAY!
And your history came straight up too.
Happy Easter.

Hi Alice, I just subscribed to your RSS feed using Internet Explorer. I'm a 'feed n00b' (this is the first time I've tried it) but I'll let you know if anything's out of the ordinary.

This is also the first time I've commented, I've been reading your blog for months...you're the reason I started crocheting! Thank for being so inspiring :)

I just tried to leave a comment and either:
1. you are approving comments before they show up and I didn't know that OR
2. The Robot Foiler didn't like what I thought the numbers were & it cleared out my comment. If that's the case it would be nice if it remembered my comment and then asked me to try different numbers.

Wait! I just tried again and I think Robot Foiler is very cool, but she might hate me. This time she told me I was wrong & kept my comment.

Hi! I've been reading you for a long time and I admire you a LOT. I tested the feed and it works perfectly. I'm using Windows Vista, browsing with Firefox and my reader is Netvibes Ginger Version.

I took a snapshot: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/graymalking/netvibes-prtscrn.jpg

Subscribed in atom feed using Google Reader, works really well, even pictures included. No problems with browsing as well, using Firefox running on Windows XP. :)
