<p>…that my stupid header link is broken.</p><p>I wasn’t going to do a blog entry about it.&#160; I felt that acknowledging its broken-ness would make it worse.&#160; I was trying to fix it ‘behind the scenes’.&#160; However, Bloglines is, as per usual, running at the speed of molasses going uphill in January.</p><p>So, until further notice, please click on the link that is the blog entry header (in this case the one that says ‘I’m sure you’ve noticed by now…’ *not* the JessaLu Knits (and Spins) (or &amp; Spins, depending on what feed you’re subscribed to) link at the very top of the page.</p><p>Thanks for your patience :o)&#160;</p><p><em><span title="Edited To Add" class="serendipity_glossaryMarkup">ETA</span>:&#160; I *might* have fixed it.&#160; I managed to cause a few more behind-the-scenes issues (like having two more feeds show up in auto-discovery) but at least you can click on the header again.&#160;&#160; I love Serendipity and all but I’m starting to consider other blogging platform options that don’t hide all your RSS feeds from you.&#160; This is very frustrating.<br /></em></p>
