The beauty of WordPress is that it is open source and is run by plugins themes etc etc all of which are made by different people and which some time co-exist well and at other times do not. I had a major plugin package that decided to de-activate itself at some point. It turned or notification of the 83 subscribers to this blog.
I think I have it working again now but the only way to know is to get feedback from followers. If you thought you were following this blog, you probably were not for some time. If you want to see the recent posts, visit shagmatic.com and look at the recent posts all listed in the right most column under recent posts.
I have made a lot of progress on the machines lately so it is worth checking out the recent posts.
Thanks for this message. I am glad to be getting posts/notifications again.
