Thank Goodness It’s Friday Afternoon

Since it was only a 4 day week, I’m not sure why, but I’m exhausted. Of course I did go to bed late last night and I got up early this morning and got 30 minutes of Wii Fit in this morning before I got ready for work.  It’s Day 2 of my Think Thin week and I’ve exercised two days.  Seeing that I had lost 4 pounds yesterday was really motivating.

Have you heard about Google taking over Feedburner?  I had somehow missed that until today when I found out that all of our Feedburner accounts will be transferred over the Google on February 28 unless you’ve already done it yourself.  So I decided to go ahead and take care of this today. So not only am I happy to have that going on, but I also realized I have 32 subscribers!  Wow!  That’s exciting. I didn’t know there were 32 people that read me. (I love you guys!!)

So I don’t know much about the Google feed yet.  I’m transferring everything now.  I’m not sure how long it will take. I know of one blog that it was a 5 hour wait. But the good news is that you don’t have to sit and watch it transfer. You can even close the browser and it will continue moving.

If you use feedburner, you might want to beat the crowds and go get yours moved over. Otherwise, you may have a hard time when the zillions of blogs handled by feedburner move over on their own on February 28.

To move over, you simply login to Feedburner and in the upper right corner you’ll see a place to transfer your account. After that, it’s a very simply follow directions, click process.

After the proccess is over, you will no longer be able to login to Feedburner and instead you’ll login to http://feedburner.google.com. 

RSS Subscriptions – Subscribing via Email

So we were talking about email feeds over at the Mom Blog forums, MomDot.  I was giving advice to use Feedburner because it had been so simple to set mine up.  Then I went to find my settings and such so I could share with others how to do it to only realize that I NEVER set up the email option when I did set up my subscription service.  WHAT? I’m always asking some of my favorite blogs to have email feeds and I didn’t have one?  Well I set it up tonight and you will now see the option to allow feeds via email. If you are a subscriber and would prefer that you receive a daily email of my posts, you can now sign up.  Not a subscriber yet? Well I highly encourage you to sign up (and post that you did so in all the contests going on right now).  Personally I love email feeds as I don’t have to remember which blogs I like or even keep up with a feeder. If I don’t have time to read them one day, I just save the email for the next day.
