Something that’s REALLY awesome about having this blog is that I get to hear from a lot of you guys on a frequent basis! Whether you’re leaving me comments or posting on the ol’ FB page… I really appreciate it!
I have had a few interesting questions pop up recently that I thought I would share over the next few weeks. The one that I’m sharing today is a common one I’ve been getting a little more frequently.
Hi Kelly,
I was just wondering if you’re having anybody else tell you that your posts aren’t showing up in their blog rolls/google reader anymore? I also tried to unfollow you and follow you again but I can’t find a “follow” button on your site. I have missed reading your posts!
When I got this email from Taryn, I gasped! But… I sort of knew this had happened for a lot of you.
When I moved from Blogspot over to WordPress and my own domain, I don’t know that I had the most graceful move. Because I’d never done anything like this… and because I was so eager to invite everyone over to my new place, I think I jumped the gun in announcing the new site. I was successful in forwarding anyone who clicks on the old blogspot site over the the new page, but I didn’t give you guys much notice or instruction on how to move. So, let’s do that now!
How to Correct the Google Reader Issue:
I only recently started using Google Reader, and I completely love it. You can subscribe to all of your favorite blogs here and notification of new postings is delivered via app to your smartphone or tablet. What a great way to keep up with all of your favorite folks!
What to Do if Your Blogroll isn’t Updating:
To update your blogroll, you’ll again want to check the URL. If you have the old blogspot address listed, it won’t show new posts on your blog. If you have the nothankstocake.com site listed, you’ll get all the latest posts.
How to Follow NTTC via Social Networking Sites:
If you want to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or to add me to your RSS Feed, there’s a spot on the top right hand corner where you can add these.
The little teal boxes with the icons will show you the way. :) I’m not a HEAVY Facebook user on this page, but I think it’s a fun spot to get to know other readers, post questions, etc. Pinterest, on the other hand… I’m addicted. And, Twitter, I love you too.
Note: If you don’t know what an RSS feed is, it’s that little rainbow looking symbol. AND, signing up for an RSS feed will allow you to receive an email (once a day) when new content pops up! I have a few friends that subscribe this way because they don’t get out to the web much. Just another option.
Hope this helps! Thanks, Taryn, for the question and for prompting me to post about this for everyone! More letters from readers next week, folks. Also, if you have something you’d like to ask or something you’d like me to write about… feel free to reach out! You can Facebook me, email me (nothankstocake@gmail.com), tweet me (@nothankstocake)… you choose!

Fortunately this didn’t apply to me.. but can I please just say how honored I feel to be showing up in your Reader? haha
You are too cute! You know I read your blog, girl! Although, reading on reader… I don’t always leave comments. Shame on me! Also, there’s more that I “follow” that don’t appear (in case anyone else is thinking I don’t read them!)
