RSS feed on Google Reader

Your feed works fine for me in Google Reader. I just added a subscription to https://levgartman.com/blog and it picked it right up.

Hmm, when I add your feed to Google Reader I get all posts up to “And now for something completely gross” dated Oct 9th 2007.

Have you changed anything since October 9th?

Yeah, same thing for me…after 10/9 nothing else came through. Although I had a similar problem around 9/13. I had signed up for feedburner around that time (i think) but never actually did anything with it. I’m not sure if that’s the problem, but anyway, I went and logged into feedburner and deleted the feedburner link to my site.

Doesn’t look like that kicked everything through though, although I’ll give it some time to do so.

Any other suggestions?

Just updated to the latest version of wordpress, 2.3.1. No change yet…

I just tried again through Google Reader and it still isnt picking up those recent entries.

It’s not a WP problem, your RSS feeds are showing up fine when you visit the URL directly, and its not a WP-to-Google Reader problem, because my RSS feed is being picked up fine.

I noticed that the post directly after the last one to show up, contains a table (the Picassa thing). Do we know if Google Reader plays nice with posts containing tables?

I just made a test post including the Picassa table code, and I’m checking to see if it gets picked up or not.

Nothing yet, but I don’t know what the lag time usually is between a post being made and it appearing in Google Reader.

I’ll keep you posted!

I tried removing that table…no luck yet.

Still nothing 10 hours later…

This may sound drastic but maybe you could try a fresh install, and just bring back your old posts and uploads?

Export your blog from the “Manage > Export” page, and backup the wp-content directory, replace the old files with a fresh install, and then import your old blog from the WP export file, and upload the wp-content directory.

Obviously, backup the entire site before trying this, database as well, just in case you find yourself up a creek without a paddle ;P

Seems like this might be a Google Reader Problem…
https://levgartman.com/blog/?feed=rss2 is the feed url, which looks right to me, and also I have my posts published to thefacebook via rss and thats working…So I guess I’ve gotta take it up with google? I dunno.

This is clearly a Google issue. I tried your URL using the Google Feed API, and it had no problem picking it up. Since the Reader itself is *supposed* to use the Feed API, I’m at a loss. Try emailing Google, it’s pretty much all I can think to say.

This is a bunch of gibberish to me…does this make sense to anybody? I posted on the google reader help forum the other day and this is the response I got:

Hi lgartman,

I took a look at your feed, and it appears that your most recent post
(from yesterday) is actually showing up in Reader as a post from back
in July 2006. Try viewing your feed and then scrolling back a bit
through the “all items” view and you can see it. Similarly, you can
find this Monday’s post back in that same month.

What this usually means is that the feed is reusing item IDs. This
makes Reader think that the new item is actually an update to a
previous item, so it goes back and updates that item rather than
showing it as new. If you want to avoid this problem, you’ll need to
make sure every post you ever make in your blog has a unique ID.

Thanks,
Graham
