  Hi. I’ve got a new WordPress blog. I went to the Reader and was following relevant blogs. It worked fine for a while. I think I’m following 84 blogs. But then it quit working. I’d click on the “follow” button as I had done before and first it says “you’re following” in green and then it says “there was a problem try again” in red no matter what I try to follow. Why did it change like this? Is there a limit to how many I can follow in a day?
  Thanks,
  Ace of Anxiety

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I did follow many sites in a short period of time. I don’t think the browser or anything is the issue because it was letting me follow things for a while without any problems. If I wait a day or so do you think it will let me follow again?
