Yikes! Did I do something wrong?

My feedburner subscriber count has been floating between 65 and 75 for quite a while now. In the last couple weeks it had actually inched up to the low 80s (it sounds like I'm talking weather). It's so exciting to see the number do little steps up... to know that more people have found what you say of enough interest that they click the little subscribe buttons.

Today... my heart sank. My feedcount reads 30. Eeeekk.

Has anyone else see their number drop so drastically today? Is it a feedburner/subscription glitch? Or maybe I screwed up my feed somehow without knowing it? That's totally possible with me. Or did I do something that causes 50 people to unsubscribe since yesterday??? Have I offended you?

I'll hope it's a glitch. It's a glitch... and I will try not to check it 5 million times today.

Sniffle sniffle. Anybody out there?

I'm out here! I won't leave you! ;o) My feedcount has been dropping some lately, too. It's usually pretty steady, but it's been jumping around a lot recently. I read something about it being due to Feedburner no longer counting annonymous readers? I don't know, but it's not just you!

I'm sure it's just a glitch -- don't worry!

My feed dropped at the same time, so hopefully it is a glitch. I only had 40readers of my feed anyway, so to have it down to 16 is rather depressing!! Hope it's not permanent...

The other day, I had my feedcount on two of my blogs drop by about 100 readers. And, then the next day, it was back up to what it had been. I think sometimes it just has a glitch. I have noticed that it just seems to happen every so often.

Recent blog post: I would love some homeschooling resources recommendations!

I hadn't noticed it happen to such an extreme before.? I was happy to see that it bumped itself back up to normal over the following week.? At least now I won't be so shocked if it happens again.? It's nice to know it's not just me though!?
