First off, drop the "http" because while that may be part of web address it is never part of a feed address. Try these feed formats, which are valid for Astroblogging: feed://astroblogging.net/main/?feed=rss2 feed://feeds.feedburner.com/AstroBlogging Let me know if either of these addresses work for you. Thanks for reading! Beth Nick,

There are different formats for feeds so the trick is finding the one that works in your reader. First off, drop the “http” because while that may be part of web address it is never part of a feed address. Try these feed formats, which are valid for Astroblogging:

feed://astroblogging.net/main/?feed=rss2

But I can't seem to get your feed as I recognise none of the providers - normally they add to my IE feed list. Am I missing something or do I have to subscribe to one of the provders you list at http://feeds.feedburner.com/AstroBlogging?

Maybe this is your punishment for taking Matt Mullenweg's name in vain. Or 3.3 is doomed! Did you try the first suggestion: flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches? Did you try updating the plug-ins again? (Worth a try.) Hope you work things out soon. Squarespace! Bite your tongue! Beth Hi Jeffrey,

Geez, even the newest version? Maybe this is your punishment for taking Matt Mullenweg’s name in vain. Or 3.3 is doomed!

Did you try the first suggestion: flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches? Did you try updating the plug-ins again? (Worth a try.)

Hope you work things out soon. Squarespace! Bite your tongue!

Turns out it was due to not having upgraded all my plugins. But I just upgraded to the latest 3.3.x and I'm having the same problem I did before (not being able to add new widgets). Almost makes me want to move to squarespace. I had to deactivated every single plugin and test one by one. Turns out it was due to not having upgraded all my plugins.

I have submitted my blog twice now to Invesp and they just don't add it. I have no idea why. I even emailed them and they sent me a password reset but still didn't add my blog! grrr. I've just submitted it again, will wait another week and email them if it still doesn't appear. Sorry, only just seen your reply!

Did you submit your blog to Invesp? I recently submitted Astroblogging and True Crime and Astrology and they had me listed the next day. Those blogs aren't on the top 25 yet, but I'm working on it. Thanks, Leah!

I was gutted when my site was stripped to 3 and very relieved when it changed back to 4 a couple of months later! I've also just been on a 'need to improve Alexa rank' mission. I just installed a widget on my site. I don't like the idea of offering a tool bar to my readers - it feels a bit pushy somehow but I'll see. I'm monitoring the widget for a month to see if there is any obvious improvement. The only problem is for some reason Alexa is saying my site is unclaimed even though I claimed it and it's listed as claimed in my account. I've emailed them so hopefully they will sort it out. I'm still trying to get onto Invesp! I monitor my page rank, stats and things like Alexa and Technorati every month. I find it motivating to see figures improving and also it's useful to gauge what works and doesn't work. Well done on getting your pagerank back Beth!
