Feed me

Nobody reads blogs on a Sunday, so this is a good time to post something boring.

As I expected, I have been having some teething problems with this site.  Things rarely go smoothly, and frankly, I worry when they do.

Apparently, my RSS Feed Reader wasn’t working which didn’t really surprise me.

Why wasn’t I surprised?

The theme I am using doesn’t have a built in RSS button, which is a huge omission.  I had to install my own.  Then I had to set up my Feedburner account and that’s where the trouble really started. 

As far as I can make out, the Feedburner plugin has some problems with the latest WordPress.  Or maybe it doesn’t?  Either way, I had so many problems that I had to modify the plugin to get it to work.

In the course of this, I had to set up and delete my Feedburner account several times, and this is where the problem occurred.  My button, and my account got out of synchronisation.

It took a bit of twiddling, but I think I have it working now.

Try it out.

If it doesn’t work, just let me know……

    Great stuff.

    It just occurred to me that this is a great way of getting subscribers! That wasn’t my intention. Though I see I am now have 28 which is nice for a site that’s only a few days old?

    “a large piece of crap”

    So is the large pile that the dog leaves in the garden. But without it, she would be in a sorry state?

    Considering I was reading that in my reader – on SUNDAY *harumph* – I think it’s all working.

    So, I have like, 30 subscribers on a blog a few years old. Hmmm..
