FeedBurner Breeds Paranoia

Yes, I said it - FeedBurner breeds paranoia. As some of you might have noticed I slowed down with the number of posts that I produce around the Web over the holiday weekend because I was a little burnt out and honestly had too many things on my plate.

The time off though did wonders, because now I am just itching to create more content. The problem comes in when I start checking out my FeedBurner subscription numbers. I like to check them out at least once a day, and when I do I am usually happy with they go up and a little depressed when they go down. With the lack of posts the last few days, they have been going down a lot - and not I am racking my brain on how to fix that.

This is something I do every time I notice a lowering in the numbers - it makes me a little paranoid. Did I say something wrong? Am I not as entertaining as I used to be? Well, maybe I can not blame FeedBurner for my entire problem, but it doesn’t help me any.

Damn them for providing me such quality statistical information!

I think your right and maybe just a little on the crazy side. I still enjoy your blog posts though. :)

Hi Mitch-
No need to jump off the ledge just yet. We’re seeing a LOT of feeds lose a few subscribers this week. It happened last year as well. I’m sure your numbers will be back up to normal later this week, or next week at the latest.
