Michael Simms: Apologies for the tech glitches at Vox Populi Sphere

Friends, odd things have been happening with the Vox Populi website lately. For example, a notice for a post containing four poems by Philip Terman went out to subscribers today, but when readers clicked on the notice, there was no post because Terman’s poems are actually scheduled for March 28, two day from now. Similarly, a post containing one of my poems, which had been scheduled for March 8 but never appeared, showed up yesterday, March 25. And there have been other noticeable glitches — some of them my fault — as well.

I hope you will bear with me as I work to resolve these problems.

Thank you for your support!

    Without VP, I would probably stay in bed with the covers pulled over my head all day.

    WordPress can add snags and glitches too! No worries. You do a great job!

    One of the best websites. Glitches and all.

    I had the same problems, and decided to wait, patiently, expecting the glitches to be just that, little glitches, and knowing all would go a bit smoother soon. SO SORRY this is causing trouble, dear Michael – and know that this ain’t chasing me away, no siree, for sure, nope, nada, non!

    On the good side, I can now post comment. I used to get kicked out — or not even that. A circling circling circle, and then nothing. Maybe this has to do with me doing something differently on my end, but I don’t want to look too closely, lest I inspire the prankster ghosts in my machine to pay more attention to me. Thanks for your good efforts!

    Thank you for the alert, Michael … I had been flummoxed by the “you can’t go there” message that popped up when I tried to access the Philip Terman post. Mischievous gremlins in the machine are most likely to blame! Speaking as an appreciative fan, I actually marvel at how well Vox Populi tends to function normally. I am sure most of us in the VP community will wait patiently for any tech glitches to be resolved. 🙏🏽

      Thanks, Annie. VP has already lost over 200 (out of 20,000) subscribers over the last week, no doubt because of the glitches. I appreciate all of you who remain. —M

        whoa! that strikes me as truly bizarre … I cannot picture unsubscribing unless Vox Populi did some highly improbable thing like, I dunno, talk about how wonderful 47 is. 😳
