Prepping for the End of Feedburner

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Crossposted from my tech blog, and this change has been completed on both this blog, and the News and Reviews blog:

It’s not quite dead yet, but it certainly is on the deathwatch. Given that fact, while I’m not quite pulling the plug on using Feedburner for the RSS feed from this site, or the email subscription to the site, I have switched the sidebar on the blog to use the original WordPress RSS feeds and the built-in WordPress Jetpack email subscription instead of the Feedburner ones. So new subscribers to the feed or the email list, will now be using those services instead of Feedburner, and I’ll be prepared ahead of time for what seems to be the inevitable shuttering of the service.

If you’re a current subscriber to either the Feedburner RSS or Feedburner email list, you may want to update those subscriptions as well. You know, just in case. 😉

You’ll find links to do that on the sidebar, as well as links to follow on Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus as well, if you’d rather do that.

  • Why Reading Just The Headline is Misleading

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    The content of the article is pretty accurate, but if you saw the article shared on Twitter, for example, with just the headline, what would your take-away be? Oh, the headline? This is what it said:

    “If this happened to you in childhood, you may have mental health problems”

    That headline seems to imply the exact opposite of the content of the article. The study they are reporting on, actually says the opposite of that. It implies that we really don’t know or understand all of the causes of mental health issues. For some, it may be tied to childhood trauma, for another person it may be tied to something else, or someone with a lot of childhood trauma didn’t grow up with mental health issues. 

    Since we know many, many people only read the headline and then either move on, or share based on the headline alone. I can’t help but wonder how many people are sharing something, assuming that it says that childhood trauma causes mental health issues, when the article actually says it’s more complicated than that.

    Yeah it’s an interesting name, no doubt. 🙂 I was looking at Brian’s weblog, and saw a link to this series of articles from the BBC about a man and his battle with brain cancer. Pretty interesting stuff and it definitely fits the overall idea of linking to sites by and about people overcoming their…
