Technical Difficulties…Too Technical To Discuss

I posted an entry to my blog the other day in which I solicited my readers’ help. You see it, right below here. Unfortunately, WordPress (the platform for my blog) was not cooperating and the usual email notifications were not sent, and the link from the WP Reader wasn’t working, and of course the FB link wasn’t working either, so you might not have seen the post. For all I know, you’re not seeing this either. If you are reading this, it’s probably because you are aware of it.

I put in a support request with Jetpack, which is the add-in that allows people to subscribe to my blog and comment and whatnot. The problem is that both WordPress and Jetpack are free. Well, that’s not the problem, that’s actually a good thing. The problem lies in the fact that because I pay nothing for these privileges…I get the exact support I paid for. If anyone from Jetpack is reading this…if anyone actually works at Jetpack…I await your response. If mindless flattery helps, I love you and your whole family and your products and I could not be a bigger Jetpack Enthusiast! And might I just add that you look lovely today?

Bottom line-I still desperately need help with ideas for my presentation. Let’s bring it folks.

    Here’s another funny (true) story you might be able to use. Picture being snowed in at an airport, standing in a long line waiting to speak to the gate agent. A jerk walks to the front of the line, cuts in, demanding that the agent help him immediately. She tells him he needs to go to the end of the line to which he promptly yells: “Do you have any idea who I am?” Immediately, the agent gets on the intercom and says: “May I have your attention please. We have a gentleman here who has no idea who he is. Can anyone please help him out and identify him?” She was met with a round of applause.

    • OMG I love that! I once worked with a muckety muck who was related to a certain sneering VP of the US…and he said the same thing to me, “do you know who I am?” In my head I replied “yes, but I’m willing to work with you anyway.” I couldn’t say that without getting fired so instead I just looked him right in the eye and said “yep.” Yuck.

    Given that I am the most technologically challenged person you know, I think I’m doing you a favor by just keeping quiet…

    So far I have not had these problems with jetpack. Hope they figure it out. At least I’m still getting your post updates!

      I have a feeling I will never hear from Jetpack, but hope springs eternal! I’m glad you are on top of it!!

    I have very few problems on .com. Once in a while someone will drop from my reader so I unfollow and follow them again.
    A while back my post didn’t show up in emails or the reader. I changed one thing in the body of the text and updated. It went out!
    Good luck!

      Thanks Susie! I typically don’t have problems, and I tried creating a whole new post but it was still corrupt, leading me to believe it might have been the image that I pasted in the middle. All’s well that ends well!
