What the Dickens???!!! (Edited)

I just added a new blog to the the list of good sites, in the column on the left. And as I did  so, my followers all disappeared from the section that lists them. So now I've got this thing that says I have no followers for this blog, even though Dashboard still says I have nine.

Rather than asking you to sign up again, I think I'll give it a while to correct itself. But if it doesn't within a week or so, maybe I'll ask my followers to renew their followership.

Edited to add: No sooner did I post the above and return to view the blog than the followers were all back as if nothing had ever happened. Strange.

But at least all is well for now.
