Currently listening to: Love Me Not – Ravyn Lenae
I have this song in heavy rotation right now. The song has this old timey vibe (even though the song is a year old), if that makes any sense, especially the chorus.

Soon as you leave me, we always lose connection
It’s gettin’ messy, I fiend for your affection
Don’t loosen your grip, got a hold on me
Now, forever, let’s get back together

How do you read blogs?

There are a few ways I read blogs.

I’ve noticed that the way I view someone’s blog can really change the experience. Depending on the platform or device, what I see isn’t always consistent. I find that très annoying.

For example, when I try to read certain blogs through WP Reader on my phone, the feed sometimes appears empty, as if there are no posts at all. However, when I open the same blog through WP Reader on my computer, the posts show up without any issue.

This was the post, you found me, from my computer WP reader. It just looks like a hot mess and it’s very difficult to read. TBH, it’s annoying AF. Why’s it gotta look like that? IDK.

The same post on the Jetpack app, WP reader. BTW, I changed my settings so the background is black. I just like it better that way.

The same post via my website. I used to have issues with a message would show up as error on the YouTube video but I think I’ve resolved it.

The differences really make me question whether a blog is worth returning to and subscribing to.

Has anyone else seen the differences too?

    I usually will read blogs on the computer, but at night, I will read on my iPad (most times) and it seems the same. Maybe it\’s my old iPad (I use a older version of Jetpack so maybe that\’s why??)

      Maybe!! I just think it’s so weird that it changes like that….

    I def have. On the app, I’ll go to a person who posts frequently and it says “This person has not posted anything yet.” Que? But if I see their post in notifications, it’ll show. Really annoying bc it’s easy to miss a post with all the notifications; but if I go to a certain blogger to whom I’ve subscribed to see what they’ve posted recently, I get that annoying message.

    Another error simply says “unable to load content.”

    And reader comments are still uneditable 😑

    WP… cmon, chop chop, let’s get it together 😂

    Yikes! That is alarming. I primarily use my phone and Jetpack to view blogs.

    That said, I have seen differences in my own posts depending on where I view them. For example, on my phone, when Align is set to Center, images and captions are centered. But in Jetpack? Only the images are centered.

    I just gave up worrying about it. Given the daily prompt situation, clearly WordPress isn’t gonna do anything about this…

      Lolol that’s true…

    Yessss… I’ve noticed that your post on WordPress reader is better than on the Jetpack app, as the YouTube video stays link embed, not the actual video itself. And sometimes, I go to your browser to see the formal setup.🤭 I love using Jetpack than WordPress reader for some reason.

    But no worries, Rojie. Mostly we go back to reading because of the writer, not the output (s)he has. Once, we know the writer, we start to build loyalty. The words matter than the formal or layout they have. Hugs always!

    Wow, that’s weird. I’ve never seen that before. It’s definitely just Jetpack. The application is not the best, for sure.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      yeah it was really weird when I would check out pples blogs using my phone vs computer

        The only thing I really like about Jetpack is that it makes it easier to visit the sites of people I’m following. I’m able to scroll through everyone’s sites more easily throughout the week.

    Your posts always look fine to me in reader- on my laptop or in Jetpack. I use all android devices. That may be the difference.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      Ooh that could be the diff!
