Just a quick post to let you all know that I’ve (at long last, only two years late, etc) moved Cipher Mysteries’ email subscription handling from (the now long defunct) Google Feedburner to sassy new Feedburner replacement Follow.it. Everyone who was formerly subscribed via Feedburner should (fingers crossed) now be subscribed via Follow.it instead.
The nice follow.it people tell me that you can do various funky subscription things via their web interface (e.g. RSS trickery, or redirect it to your Twitter feed, etc). But frankly I guess most people will just receive it via email as before.
Let me know if you run into any problems or anything unexpected! Next stop – finding a new WordPress theme…
Seems working… Received an email with an approval link.
Anton: thanks! Anything like this is always a bit uncertain, hopefully everyone will be able to move across easily enough.
@ Nick – do you really need a new WordPress theme? The New Yorker has barely changed a thing – including Rea Irwin’s beautiful typeface…
Jo: the Contango theme that Cipher Mysteries currently uses isn’t properly mobile-aware, so it doesn’t really lay out nicely on a mobile screen.
I also created my own theme many years ago, but wasn’t able to recreate it after the site got hacked, alas. 🙁
Thanks Nick!!! Enjoy your insight and keeping the collaboration active !
David Scott: thanks! 👍
