I’ve used feedburner for my blogger blog, then set it up for this blog – then everything crashed and I had to start this blog over again, with some url changes. Now I have a new URL and no way to transfer subscribers from the blogger blog or the blog I had here that died. I hate to lose subscribers for any reason, but feedburner is making it impossible for me to make much needed changes. And customer support is non-existant. I’ve went to the forums and every question I looked at, some of them a couple years old, still have no answers. No help to be found there.

SOOOOOO…. I’m looking for a new service. Anyone have any suggestions? So far feedburner seems to be the only free one I can find and they are holding my readers hostage. I could email EVERYONE in my subscriber base and ask them to subscribe to another new feed AGAIN, but I don’t want to bother people like that. They shouldn’t have to do that, don’t ya think?

I’d be grateful for any help in this area. I’m getting really annoyed.

Hey gang! I just applied for a short-term blogging job and I need your vote to make it to the final round. This gig will allow me to do what I love, blogging, and pay some of those pesky bills that refuse to go away. And don’t worry, it won’t take away from my blogging here.

I have to make it into the top 250 in order to be considered. I will be eternally grateful if you would vote for me every day up to October 30th. And please ask your friends and family to vote as well! This would be a tremendous help to my family and I and we will love you forever! *muwah!*
