When we started the RV-Dreams Journal all those years ago, people could sign up to receive posts via email and or RSS through Feedburner.
Well, Google purchased Feedburner and eventually abandoned it as a source for RSS feeds. However, it seemed to work okay for those that had the feed set up and it still worked for those that were receiving the Journal via email.
However, with recent issues, it was time to make a change, so the feed and email subscriptions are now being served by FeedBlitz, a partner of our Journal host, Typepad. If I've done things correctly, which is a huge IF, the next feed you see through the old Feedburner sign up may say something like "We've moved. Update your reader with the new feed address (URL)".
So, we have a new button on the upper right side of the RV-Dreams Journal sidebar (under the Facebook & Twitter buttons) that you can click to subscribe or you can just go directly to this URL:
https://feeds.feedblitz.com/rv-dreams
When you click the RSS button or go to the above link you will see the current feed and the top of the page will look like this.
The subscribe button on the right will allow you to subscribe via email, RSS, or Mobile RSS.
We're sorry for this inconvenience, but it should be much better. Of course, there may be glitches on your end in the beginning that we can't see, so please let us know if you have any problems and we'll try to get those corrected.
As always, thank you so much for your continued support.
Thank you!

Hey Joanne, you are quite welcome. Sorry I didn't respond to you before, but you prompted me to do what has needed to be done for a long time. So thank you.

I still use Blogger Reading List and that's where I find your posts.

I've tried to sign up with FeedBlitz, but I am not receiving confirmation emails--not in my Inbox nor in Spam. I prefer straight email and don't use any other social media to receive posts or sign-in.

Mark, I sent you an email.

Camille, with the changes I just made last night, please let me know whether or not anything changes going forward and you are still seeing the posts on Blogger Reading List.

Ronald, I too get that message when I Google RV-Dreams Journal and click on the search result. But that's the only time I get the error. And, when I click on the other links in the search result I don't get that message.
It's really weird and I have a ticket in with support to see how we can fix this. In the meantime, using this link works just fine: https://rv-dreams.typepad.com/rvdreams_journal/

Ronald,
So, the correct link is now https://rv-dreams.typepad.com/ without the www. The old link is now "not secure" due to it not having the https.
Bookmark the new link and it should work just fine.

Switched over. Worked fine for me. I use NetNewsWire RSS reader.
