Umm … Could You Please Resubmit?

Thanks to everyone who has been visiting the new viget.com and our blogs!  We’re embarrassed to admit that we made a little mistake ... Shortly after re-launching (and thoroughly testing the live sites) we switched hosting providers to improve performance (and then didn’t test again—oops).  Turns out the new host was configured differently, so email wasn’t being sent from the site correctly between March 7th and yesterday.

As a result, if you filled out this form or added your email at the bottom of the page during that time period, we probably didn’t get it.  Could you please resubmit?  Yes, we’ve tested it this time—works like a charm!

If you still don’t trust the forms or think we just might be ignoring you, you’re welcome to give us a call at 703.891.0670.  If we don’t answer, leave a voicemail message—we’re quite certain those go through fine.

Thanks for the heads up.

In addition, I use Apple Mail’s rss reader to subscribe, and it seems as though the various Viget blogs are frequently duplicated so I have to go and delete all the multiple entries of the same post. 

Anyone else noticed such an issue?

Chris, that’s how RSS readers interpret updated entries...in the first few weeks, we’ve been changing how the entries show up (adding new features like Summaries and Extended fields), which causes the RSS XML to change slightly. RSS readers notice and assume it’s a totally new post…

Hopefully, we’ve made the last of the RSS changes for some time, so you should stop seeing duplicates. But let us know if you notice anything else.
