I had to change my twitter password, but this time I remembered that I need to change the password on twitterfeed and feedburner so that things will work - or re-authorize them to connect with my account.
Now that I've done that, I just have to be sure it works.

Testing my Feed
Image via Wikipediaare you a farm animal? Did the vet recommend this to your farmer/keeper?I'm speaking of my RSS feed and getting it to post to my twitter account, which then forwards to my facebook account, and therefore lets everyone know what I'm saying, whether they want to know or not. That kind of feed.
Twitterfeed seems to be working just fine for my other blogs, but for some reason it just won't work for this one. So, last night before I posted my Looking at the Sky post, I set Google Feedburner up to Socialize my feed. It's supposed to automatically post updates from my feed to my social media account - twitter. But it didn't work, even though it says it's active, and twitterfeed didn't work either. So, I'm testing it again, thinking maybe it just needed some time to actually get set up.

I Should've Thought of This Before
The other day I realized that I could sign the grandparents up to receive updates from this blog via email. I don't know why it never occurred to me. I've been receiving my own blog updates for quite some time. Yes, I know, it sounds kind of weird to get a feed of my own blog, but I originally set it up in my email client (Thunderbird) with an RSS subscription, just to see how it worked. Then I really didn't think about it any more, though I should stop subscribing to my own blog and subscribe to some other people's blogs.
I forgot that FeedBurner offers the ability for people to subscribe to a feed via email, just by entering an email address. For people who spend most of their time on the computer playing Spider Solitaire, that is ideal! There's nothing complicated about it. So, yesterday I activated the email subscriptions option, added the form to my sidebar, and, to make things even easier, I went ahead and entered the grandparents' email and subscribed them. They don't have to do anything but sit back and read the email as it comes in!
The reason I decided to do this is that, these particular grandparents live far, far away, and they don't get to see their grandkids very often. Now, as a good daughter, I should be sending email and keeping them updated on what their grandkids are doing and how things are going here. But, I don't. What I actually do is post to this blog - so, if they start getting email every day when I post, it's just like I sat down and wrote them an email. At least, that's what I'm going to believe.
Now, should I sign the other grandparents up?
