Dear Google where has Socialize Gone? And...
It would be a rather good idea to clearly point out
to Bloggers to set their Feeds to "Short" and that the maximum feed size is 576K and so after so many posts it will
stop working. Before this was worked out the Moon's feed was deleted
or at least it "will soon be toast! 30 day redirection is
active."
A new one as been created I think subscribers will
need to re-subscribe to the Feed and the email sign up...
This will also eventually effect the Label Feeds for each Section, though a way round this has been found:
At the end of each feed add "?max-results=10"
For example the Untech feed is:
http://thedailymoonfromsyb.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/Untech?max-results=10
(or whatever number you want that should not add up to more
than 576k)
Why Google does not set a limit to your Blog feed to start with is a mystery but for a main Feed one would think it is best to set it to "Short" and then have a limit of 10. Setting the feed to "Short" however takes out any images that you might want fed to Facebook etc, so then it may be best to go "Full"and limit the number to 2 or 3 or do a "Jump Break"

The "In the News" section has also been
updated and like the main feed it has been "optimized"
using Feedburner
This has led on to allowing e-mail subscriptions
for each section as well. "In the News" is there already on
the Home page and the rest will appear soon. So good can come out of
bad...
But where has "Socialise" gone in Feedburner? It is used to send your Feeds to Twitter, however you can get to it via a URL based hack
There are of course alternatives such as Hootsuite and I have found dlvr.it They like many are waiting for Google to release the full Google+ API for 3rd parties.
Google really should be doing this to release the full potential of Google+. Or at least allow you to send feeds to Google+ via Feedburner....
You can however use dlver.it to automatically send your Google+ posts to Twitter and Facebook.
