Feed question

  • I just installed WordPress on my server last night using the autoinstallation script that the service provider has for us. I also added a theme and then did some minor cosmetic changes to it. I then tried a couple of posts to see if it is sending out the notification to the update service. The setup shows that it should be sending to pingomatic, but I am not getting a notification of a new post on bloglines, where I have an account and have subscribed to my feed. What should I do to ensure that the feed is actually being sent out?

  • Sometimes things just take a while to update. It’s unlikely that changing the theme will have affected bloglines.

    Plus I checked your feed link, and it works fine ??

    I’m actually wondering if it has something to do with my server not sending it out properly? Is there a configuration somewhere on my server that I should be confirming? Bloglines just reported an error to me:

    Bloglines has encountered an error trying to fetch the latest version of this feed. Bloglines handles errors automatically, no action is required by you. The error was:

    The feed URL returns a page that does not look like an RSS feed. This can be caused by the feed URL being incorrect, or it can be caused by a configuration issue with the server hosting the feed. If this error continues, you should check the feed URL and, if it is wrong, subscribe to the correct URL.

    However, when I click in Bloglines, it does bring up the latest post, but it was not highlighted as new (by being bold in my left panel listing).

    I unsubscribed from the feed on bloglines this morning, then resubscribed on bloglines using the “add to bloglines” link in the sidebar of the page, then posted a new post to the blog… this was about 5 hours ago. Bloglines still has not reported a new post on that feed. I’m thinking I have something set wrong in the server settings (perhaps there is a setting that our service provider has turned off?) and I don’t know what to check. Any suggestions?

    Since https://www.scrapbookingswede.com/blog/?feed=rss2 shows up fine (assuming I’m looking at the right blog) I don’t think the problem is on your end. BlogLines isn’t always zippy…

    It turns out that it is coming over to Bloglines it is just not highlighting it in there (i.e. making it bold and indicating how many new posts there are). Is there a paramater I should be sending that may be missing?
