Feedburner now works

If you have tried to subscribe to this blog Feedburner the last few weeks you'll notice it wasn't working properly. Actually I didn't notice either until Dave K2DSL dropped me line. After a few e-mails back and forth he helped me troubleshoot it through and now everything is fine. If you scroll down to the bottom of my blog and click on the button so you get e-mailed whenever I post to this blog. I actually have had it going on and off for awhile now but now it works and is just another handy dandy feature to make your visit to justinmattes.com more enjoyable. I still have a few things to workout and I have a another great post coming up...........Stay tuned
