AstroNews 
My desktop gadget to your website keeps going blank within the past 2 days. If you have any ideas why, please email me. Thanks.
I’ve noticed something similar myself; I think it’s due to bandwidth issues with the webhost I use. Unfortunately, I can’t upload the file and access it from WordPress so I have to use a third party hosting company.
Haven’t noticed any issues over the past day or two so hopefully it should be okay now.
I just wanted to let you know how much your efforts here are appreciated. Thanks so much!
Thanks Alex – much appreciated 🙂
Wow, I’m really impressed! You’ve brought together hundreds of news items in under nine months. I think it takes a lot of guts to commit to producing content for a website on such a consistent basis, especially if you work by yourself. I hope you stick to it, it’ll payoff for you in the long run. Good Luck!
Thanks, I really appreciate that. I’m not sure why I do it LOL I’m sure there was a good reason; I started getting the press releases sent to me when I wrote for Astronomy magazine and I’m still getting them now, so it seemed like a shame to let them go to waste 🙂
There are a bunch more stories out there on the ‘net but I don’t have time to report them all. I just post what’s in my inbox 🙂
Thanks again for the support!
