For those of us using the iOS App for WordPress, we received an email yesterday telling us that our WordPress App had signed us out because there was a security issue.  If you haven’t seen it, this is it:

Great. So, it logged me out, and I logged back in, and lo and behold, the reader isn’t working!!!!!! I get as far as one hour ago and, boom, everything else is gone. Anyone else having this problem? Honestly, I’m disgusted over the whole reader crap that’s been going on and this just adds to it.

Hey!  Happiness Engineers!  I…am not happy!

This will be my third time, yes
Count them, one, two, three
That I am asking you to fix
The problems that we see

The reader’s still a mess
Now the stats are jumbled, too
Maintenance comes at awkward times
So what are we to do?

Friends are disappearing
Yes, it’s really quite insane
To have to seek them out once more
And follow them again

Likes become unlikings
And our visitors, absentee
Spam is taking over
Where the comments used to be

We really love you dearly
We know you love us, too
So kindly straighten up the site
Before we bid adieu

See, we’re the ones who make you rock
But your changes really suck
Just make the bad ones go away
Before we don’t give a….

……….hoot

I guess it’s time, once again
To write another letter
And try to explain to WordPress
That change isn’t always better

It was great when we could see
The posts our readers liked
When clicking on the bell
I already know my blog name
C’mon WordPress, what the hell?

And get it together with Facebook
So sharing works the right way
I’m tired of having to battle you two
I hope you see it, my way

Though I can cut Sir Facebook
A little bit of slack
His service is free, at least to me
So I tolerate the flack

But not when it comes to WordPress
We have a right to know
When changes that don’t
Make any sense
In our faces, you will throw

The reader’s still a jumble
When poetry is shared
Please dear WordPress
Fix this mess
And show us that you care

I guess that’s all I’ll say for now
I’m hoping that you’ll see
How simple an announcement
About the changes
Can truly be

Just pop it in an email
And send it on its way
So we can be prepared
Some how
To face a WordPress day

An Open Poem to WordPress

Dearest WordPress,
I must confess
Lately, you’re playing with fire

The reader, you see
Has lost harmony
Line breaks is what we desire

Words jumbled together
It’s hard to tell whether
The verses are supposed to be mixing

Since I pay for my site
Hoping you’ll see the light
What ain’t broke, doesn’t need fixing

Better listen today
To what I have to say
Trust me, I’m not being coy

Take your Beep Beep Boop
And retire this goop
It’s obvious these changes annoy
