Heh, how funny. I just downloaded that plugin before I got your reply! I'm not sure if I want to use this one or another one. I've seen a blog with nice subtle buttons for each different sharing site. The one "share this" button is pretty sweet though. Perhaps I'll just go with it :-)

I think there was a certain time where feeds just quit working and went on strike! :gulp_ee:

Something's up with madkast- they were really good but lately, it has been really bad -- they are tweaking it too much and breaking the code. I had emailed them several times too without response (bad customer support!). Can't blame them, they are only a 2 or 3 man company. Try Alex King's Share It http://alexking.org/projects/wordpress
Share-it is actually a plugin so it won't take any time to load up externally. You may have noticed it under my post (i.e. with the green icon). The only think it doesn't do is send it to a mobile phone (like madkast did) but that is a luxury we could probably do without.

Yeh, not sure what the problem with the feed was. I've deleted and re-added it, so it works now.

I've just removed madKast myself. It was messing up my template as well and I emailed them twice with no reply.

Kris: BTW, I am not using Madkast anymore as it didn\'t work well on this template for some reason --- went back to using the Share me plugin. Also, I found it a little slow to load up at times. After careful thought, I didn\'t like the other theme as much as this one -- missed my robots!

Kris: I have always been on feedburner rss. Not sure what happened. The only thing I changed was the email subscription system from feedblitz to feedburner's as I wanted an all in one area to see my stats etc instead of using two separate companies... unless that is how you get your updates. I might have to do a mass mailing to inform them to resubscribe. I totally forgot about that part. Oops!

Some of my newsgator feeds weren't updating in months too which I found strange but the blogs were writing everyday. What I did was that I deleted them and readded it. Maybe that would solve the problem.

Let me know if you fix it. I'm interested to see what it was.

Did changing to feedburner prevent your old RSS feed? I haven't gotten any posts from you since the 7th of August :(
The only reason I suspected you were still posting was because I just found this post tagged as madkast on technorati. Guess I have catching up to do.
BTW, never got to see that change of template so no comment and do you still have madkast installed?

thebluesbutterfly: thanks, i love the colors but have since changed it back to my old theme because it is more me.

t: Thanks for the comments. Actually I do like my robots one better - a little partial to robots :biggrin_wp:. I have since changed it back. However, i did like the blue colors in that theme though as blue is my fav.

Well...it's not ugly, but...gee...how do I say it...

The sidebars take up half of my browser window!!! What's the deal with that!? It's not like you tend to write short posts that need a cheap trick to make them look longer.

Seriously, the sidebar is irritating and distracting. Else the theme is pretty. Not as pretty as the old theme, though.

You asked for it!

The colors are fresh & it is easily navigated.
