Hi,
My new blog is now live. This allows a lot more flexibility, including commenting etc.
Please can you make sure you are taking your RSS feed from one of the following:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/ThoughtsFromAndrewJohnston (preferred)
https://www.andrewj.com/blog/index.php/feed/ (straight from my site)
I still need to update some of the links to longer old articles, so please bear with me if these are a bit odd over the next few days. Also you may see some duplicate items in the Feedburner feed – if so, please ignore these, and they should clear shortly.
Thanks, and enjoy the new blog.
Andrew
