Is this the same thing as "recent update" on the homepage? Mine stopped showing anything new on about the twelfth or the thirteenth. The items posted on the last day just keep changing the date

Sooooo.... Out of curiosity, when is the next update? If we start cutting and pasting our blogs in, will they end up doubling up after the fix?THANKS!
Sorry, I updated in another thread and neglected to post back to this one. The initial fix we tried did not do the trick. We have someone looking further into this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I think the convenience of having a blog through GR far outweighs this (brief) inconvenience. Thanks GR for working on it.
The blog importing process is now fixed. However, there are a LOT of Goodreads Authors with blogs, so importing all the new posts will take some time -- probably about one day.We also have quite a few that are yielding errors when we try to import (mostly 404 errors or unauthorized (password needed) errors). So if your recent blog posts still have not imported by this time tomorrow, you might try verifying that your feed URL is valid and works for other readers.
Hi! I was going to start a new thread but found this one. Ally Carter's blog feed isn't updating. Has this bug been fixed yet?http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Thanks
My blog has stopped updating now. I checked the feed and it seems to be working with all the posts up to date, they just aren't showing up on Goodreads. :(
My GR author blog has stopped updating since September 25 or so. My feeds are working elsewhere, but on GR the feed isn't updating on my author profile page. Please help! Thank you! :)
This has been fixed! To add posts that didn't syndicate, you just need to update your external blog feed URL. You might need to clear the feed (without deleting past posts), save, and then add the feed again to get it to work.

Hi, I'm getting this problem, too. But the "feed" settings on my page don't mention blog feeds.
Am I missing something?

I think my blog has stopped updating again? I made a post a few days ago and it still hasn't updated. Can GR help me out?? :)
When I update my blog it usually takes about 5 days for the post to appear on Goodreads. I think it's the same for some other people - one of my GR friends' blog posts just appeared in my feed, and I noticed the date on it was November 29. I don't know if it's supposed to take that long, but that's how it works for me.

Rather than wait for it to auto-update, I think it may be easier just to copy/paste each post to GR. At least, that's what I'm thinking of doing.
