'daily blog posting' known issues?

[Martin Belam]

Hi all, first time poster. I've been using the 'experimental' daily
blog posting feature on del.icio.us since December to post from
http://del.icio.us/currybet to my blog at http://www.currybet.net
which is running Movable Type 3.2 on a virtual Debian Linux box I rent
from Bytemark in the UK.

Everything had been fine, but on Wednesday last week, the links
suddenly didn't publish to my blog. I didn't get an error message in
my Movable Type activity log, or on the del.icio.us page - it just
displayed the confirmed success from Tuesday's posting.

The same happened on Thursday.

On Friday I deleted the daily blog posting on the del.icio.us site,
and then created a new one, with the same settings. On Friday the
links again failed to publish. The new link job said it was a new job
with no results.

On Saturday, the links (well, one link that had been bookmarked
between when the job *should* have run on the Friday and the run on
Saturday) did publish. However, the status page on del.icio.us still
said 'new job - no results'.

On Sunday and Monday the links have published, but now an hour later
than usual (due to the fact I guess that I have moved onto Greek
summer time, and the link-posting task specifes GMT). However the job
still says 'new job - no results'

I emailed the customer support address about the issue last week, and
got an email back on Monday saying:

"Unfortunately, the feature that you are describing is currently not
available at this time in del.icio.us. However, we hope to bring it
back in the future."

Well, at the moment the feature is still publishing, and still appears
on the site, so I'm guessing that is some admin mistake to send out a
mail saying that.

Has anyone else had any issues with using the 'daily blog posting'
feature over the last couple of weeks?


all the best,
martin

Hi Martin,

We had a few hiccups with the blog posting feature, and as a result it
was catching up after being restored last week.  The laggy behavior
should be over by now.  Unfortunately, our thingy is very experimental
and the status message is not to be believed.  We're working on either
fixing or removing it but don't have an ETA at this point.  If you
continue to see weirdness over the next couple days, please let me know.
