In response to some requests, there is now an email subscription that allows you to receive an email of every new post. If that is of interest to you, look at the top left hand corner of the blog.
As to technical issues, even Google screws up. In fact, Google is having problems getting posts to actually show up on the blog when scheduled to appear. So, for that reason, two new posts showed up at about the same time today. The same posts may repeat themselves in the future. If that happens, I apologize but I cannot control when Google gets the problem fixed.
