Ha! We will consider that.

Hey, Dan,

Thanks for your comments about my shareable images page. My developer, Andrew Buckman, created that after I described what I envisioned. (This is how we work together.) It is not available publicly yet, but it will eventually become part of the Get Noticed Theme for WordPress. Thanks.

Thanks for all your help, Kevin!

Thanks. I think you might be right about that. Of course, it will be cached on all my subscribers readers, too.

The only thing that makes me question that theory is that the email messages weren’t sent either. Regardless, I just went to FeedBlitz and was able to re-send the email. I subscribe to my own blog for testing purposes and just received the email.

This is probably the best I can do, given the fact that I don’t want to lose the 34 or so comments the post has already garnered.

If you are using an RSS reader like Google Reader, then new posts show up in your reader as they are published. 10,000 of my subscribers get my posts this way. Only about 2,000 get them via email.

You are definitely not making it worse. I am grateful for the help, believe me.

Yes, the new post shows up when you view the whole feed. But the new post was not pushed to my subscribers. The only way someone would get it is if they subscribed after the post was published.

I am not using Feedburner’s email option. It is not activated, so I don’t have the delivery option.

Here’s the sequence:

1. I publish a new post.
2. That triggers WordPress’s RSS module, which (I assume) pings Feedburner.
3. Feedburner pushes the new post to my RSS subscribers.
4. It also pings FeedBlitz.
5. FeedBlitz pushes the new post to my email subscribers.

So the question is how do I get either the WordPress module to re-ping Feedburner or Feedburner to send out the most recent post.

Does that make sense?

Where is the delivery time configured? I can’t find that.

The post went up at 4:00 am CDT today, which is the same time it always happens. Usually, my RSS fires immediately.

I am not sure if that would work. Also, if I change my permalink, it would render my Twitter post with the original link obsolete. I don’t think that just changing the title would fire the RSS, but I will investigate.

John, I did the manual resync on Feedburner about a half hour ago. However, that didn’t resend the latest post.

No, I want an RSS feed of the post to show up in people’s RSS readers. It will also trigger FeedBlitz, which sends the email.

I guess I could just create a new post with the same permalink, trash the old post and then immediately publish the new one.

However, I already several comments on the post, which I would lose. Maybe that’s not such a great idea.

I am using Feedburner.

No, I didn’t manually do it. I just did it by switching views in the editor.

Okay, I think I fixed it. I switched from HTML view in the WordPress editor, then switched to visual view and updated the file. My guess is that the line break characters were wonky in the source file.

Thanks to everyone for their help!
