Rojo bug on RSS Feed count

I thought there was something wrong when my feed subscribers suddenly dropped a hundred heads a couple of days ago. I love my feed readers and when I noticed the drop, I thought there’s been some mass un-subscription going on that I don’t know about. I believe that a blog’s feed readers are the truly loyal ones (aside from being tech-savvy) and wherever you go, they’ll be there to read you.

There are only two metrics that I fervently check each day and one of them is my feed count. So when you’re seeing a nice upward trend for months and then suddenly drops, that’s a cause for concern. :D

From the little digging that I did, it looks like the Rojo reports are conking out again:

“Due to a bug with the way Rojo is reporting subscribers for some feeds, we’re temporarily disabling the Rojo count in subscriber numbers. Rojo is aware of the issue and is working on it. Once the fix is in place and the numbers are accurate, we will resume including Rojo’s subscriber count here.”

So, now that I know there’s no boycott, we can continue with our regular programming. :D
