Is Your Blog Working? – Check it Quick!

Posted by John Saddington on May 29, 2009

ismyblogworking

Once a day I hit this link and make sure that my blog is “fine and dandy.” It only takes a few seconds and quickly I can take a very good look at how things are doing.

You should probably check your blog too with IsMyBlogWorking.com!

In the past my RSS Feed has broken due to some change in code or plugin that I’ve installed and I’d rather be the first to know than have someone ping me asking why it’s down. The service has saved me a few times and letting me know before anyone else.

In addition, you should definitely make sure that you get green checks across the board.

If not, fix ‘em! And, if you need help with that, check out our ChurchCrunch Forums! We help each other out.

    Hey, that's a sweet tool. I guess I need to get my blog to cache…

    What is "client caching"? That's what mine fails on.

    My blog isn't doing the 304 response. Is that something to be worried about?

    Thanks for the help here John.

      Not necessarily, but, you should probably get some cacheing to provide a better and faster experience for your users…!

    Hey John, you blanked out the server name in the picture above, but the link you provided takes us straight to a page with your details. Just FYI in case you didn't want people going to that… Besides that, thanks for the heads up, very useful indeed!

      Yeah, that's just for image search engine indexing.
