If you are a regular reader of the blog, first, thank you! But, second, if you use Facebook to get notifications of new posts – because I put them up manually – you may wish to look into using the RSS Feed to receive email notifications of each post. The link is somewhere on the right.
Why? Because Facebook is becoming a trifle iffy. A few weeks ago I lost access to Facebook for reasons never explained, except they claimed I had breached community standards. I examined their community standards and couldn’t see a breach. Upon appeal and delivery of a picture of myself – I contrived to look appropriately grim – and possibly my phone number, they returned access.
A week ago, on trying to send a link to a post to a friend via FB Messenger, it refused and said I had done that too many times recently, which was just silly – I probably don’t do that more than once a month.
Today, I noted that at least one of my FB posts linking to UMB was odd – it just said go to the link for more information, rather than retrieving a preview of the post.
So I’m wondering about the reliability of FB as a marketing platform, for which I pay nothing, for my blog, for which I receive nothing and pay a fee to Bluehost to host. Such are the needs of psychological venting.
In any case, an RSS feed might be a bit annoying, but at least you’d know when I belched again. And that’ll make your world complete, now won’t it?
