RSS Feed no longer working

Post by JokerHill »

Hello everyone,

My RSS feed stopped working about a week ago and has not come back. In the past I've lost the feed for a day or two but never this long.

My site is www.harvestdream.org

Would this problem be with my blog installation or with my host database?

Thanks! :)

Hi!

What do you mean with "stopped working"? It works fine here when I open the Feed?!

Hi Garvin,

I use Firefox and what I'm getting is -live bookmark failed to load.

I've checked from other computers (friends and family) and they are getting the same thing.

Why would this be the case?

Thanks for your help,

Angelo

Hi!

Does firefox live bookmarks report any erorrs? I've never used that one. My normal RSS reader (google reader) seems to be able to parse your feed just fine.

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url= ... s.php#l557

this reports a trouble with some special character you seem to have embedded in that blockquote about london...I wonder if there are invalid special characters in there?!?

Regards,
Garvin

Hi Garvin,

That just might be it. I'll draft that post rather than publish it and see what happens when everything refreshes.

Has s9y usage increased over the past year? It's nice to see that there's still support :) I haven't been around these parts for awhile.

If this fixes I'll send you a small gift...

Don't rely on firefox live bookmarks. It fails to load lots of feeds for no reason at all. ITs a little flaky.

Your feed shows up just fine and validates too:
