Feeding frustration

This post is only for the geek-hearted

Stone me.

I’m almost at my wits end with this bloody truncating RSS feed hassle. I’ve validated the RSS feed that this website produces is a valid feed. Not only is it a valid feed but when I (or you or whoever) runs the feed through the validator at http://feedvalidator.org, it displays all posts in full length.

So I’ve been digging around.

Feedburner’s diagnostics section led me to http://web-sniffer.net/ which is a nifty little tool for helping users understand how RSS feeds originate and then propogate around the interwebs.

Anyway using the web-sniffer agent I seem to have found a hiccup in… Feedburner’s formatting! For the last two hours I’ve been unpicking Feedburner’s xml trying to resolve the formatting anomoly and… I might have done it.

Yay!

Time will tell; it could take up to 24 hours for the changes to propogate around the internet, but the bottom line is… I’m hopeful.

Watch this space.

Nah, it didn’t work. 🙁

    Ian, you did indeed. Correct as ever.

    LizSara, so you’re now getting the full Monty instead of the half Nelson?

    Caroline, thanks for the words and the hug. I woke up at 5am worrying about feeds!
