The invisible Mr. Washburn

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Magdalena Dokic BK 3126272

I've noticed something on my blog subscriptions and want to comment on it.  I'm subscribed to many blogs.  There's 40 smiling faces under Blog Subscriptions:  Well, 40+ smiling faces(as some are teams), one graphic rendering of two Codgers and one very firm Tomato, but you get my drift.

 The problem is not who is there, but who isn't.  I had to go back to Jonathan Washburn's blog to make sure I had really subscribed to his, because his face isn't one of those gracing my subscription list.  Yes, I confirmed that I'm subscribed.  Is anyone else experiencing this or am I being singled out for being a RainGod groupie?  So, what gives AR?  How come I still have to hunt down Jonathan's blogs when he posts them?  I realize he's of the upper echelons and should be set apart from the rest of us common raindrops, but making his blogs harder to read won't stop us from finding them. 

I love the ease of use here in AR.  Everything is so simple that we forget how powerful it is.  But I want Jonathan's picture on my subscription list.  If I may borrow a line from the lovely Billie Tutas, "even if I have to stomp my lovely foot to get it!"

Disclaimer - this post should not be taken in any way as an attempt to offend the AR gods.  I know which side of my blog is buttered.  I'm just curious, ok?  It's not my fault you've created an AR junkie.

Interesting post, Maggie.  I just checked my subscriptions and he's not on the list either, even though I am subscribed.

Phew!  That makes me feel better Betsy.  I know I'm not being singled out then.  Hmmm...the plot thickens.

Hi TLW!  Yes, with my luck I probably would hurt myself.  OK, that's 3 of us that can't see him.  But wait, we're all gals.  Maybe it's a plot by his lovely Sara?  naaaah....  if we could only get a guy to pipe in here....

Maggie, I've noticed the same thing. Also Matt Heaton's profile works the same way. I'm subscribed to it but he doesn't show up. Shy maybe? Naw....

It must be deliberate.

Finally.  A man chiming in.  And what a man.  <<hee, hee>> Hey Mark!  Thanks for stopping by.

I guess it's deliberate then.  Actually, I thought Matt Heaton's profile disappeared altogether.  oooh, is that thunder from the RainGods I hear?  Nah, they're ignoring little ol' me.

Maggie: Stealthgods? Maybe Poorgods? With insufficient funding to afford enough photos to go around to all their subscribers.

Jay, you're funny.  I hadn't considered that.  You think maybe it's a lack of funds?  ;-)

Could be, just doin' a little speculating here. I preferred the "Stealthgod" thought more though.

Yeah, if one makes more sense than the other it would have to be that one.  You're up early today!

Hi Maggie, Sorry for taking so long to chime in here.  Our initial goal was to hide both Matt's and my own profiles off of the subscription list because people subscribe to us because we have relevent ActiveRain news, not because we have interesting or captivating post.  I think Matt overshot in his programming a bit though and hid us from personal subscription lists as well.  If I am not mistaken the bug was fixed recently.  If not, it should be fixed soon.

Hey Jonathan!  Thanks for the 2 cents.  I guess that day I just needed a way to get an easy 200 points, you think?  Actually, I do like to see when you and the rest have anything new to say.  It's usually interesting.  So I look forward to seeing you all back on my subscription list.  Thanks!
