I’ve removed the redirect from the .htaccess and it hasn’t solved the problem as well.
So, if you are subscribed to http://ajaydsouza.com/feed/ then you should continue [...]

A PR update was in the works and I guess it has happened. And unfortunately it seems like this blog PR has dropped and dropped straight down to zero from a PR of 5.
I’m totally clueless how this has happened and am hoping this is only a transition.

My plugin Open Picture Window just crossed 1000 downloads.
I also crossed 20000 downloads on this site. Of these more than 25% are due to my theme while 15% of these have been due to the Snap Preview Anywhere Plugin.
