The last couple of days I have been working on a smallish e-book to give away to people who sign up to my photography tips website mailing list. I wondered about adding a link my twitter a/c to the ebook, but when I checked the twitter a/c, it hadn't been updated since December last year.
I was using ping.fm to automatically update it, so I checked ping.fm, and everything seemed to be in order. I checked tumblr, which is another site that ping.fm is meant to automatically post to, and that hadn't been updated since December either.
So I figured there must be a problem with ping.fm reading my site's RSS feed. I checked the RSS feed, and it was working fine. I tried clicking 'Activate feed' on ping.fm to reactivate the feed, but this just brought up the error message:
Error: http://us-lb.zeesmic.com/api/users/ping_feeds/feeds/fa238732-8cb9-4650-807d-b0a903ad972a
<html> <head><title>502 Bad Gateway</title></head> <body bgcolor="white"> <center><h1>502 Bad Gateway</h1></center> <hr><center>nginx/0.8.53</center> </body> </html>
Doing some googling, I couldn't find thousands of complaints about this, but it does seem to be a problem with ping.fm. Unfortunately of the complaints I did find, it was just people asking what the problem was, with no solution or statement from ping.fm.
I am pretty sure anyway that the problem is not with my site, as my photography tips is hosted by Hostgator, who use Apache, not Nginx.
The rest of the day I made some chocolate cakes and did a couple of photos to illustrate the e-book.
