Take THAT, Google Reader!

Alright, Tali. This was my last ditch attempt. If I can’t make this work, then I give up and will just start recommending to people that they use a different reader than Google. Not that people will, but eh, I can’t really make Google accept my feed.

I have validated the RSS and ATOM feeds, I have fussed with code, I have adjusted, re-adjusted and changed things until, well, frankly, I’m just done. I want to know when people I read update and I’m sure there are a few who feel the same about my site, but there’s only so much I can do. So, I decided to go through Feedburner and hope and pray this works.

So yeah, you should see something in the sidebar that vaguely looks like this:

Or if you want the direct url : http://feeds.feedburner.com/CSTH - I also have updated my auto-find so when you come to my site in Firefox, say, and click on the little orange feed symbol in your browser, it should automagically take you to the Feedburner URL.

Let’s see if going through Feedburner will effect the updates (or lack of) through Google Reader. If not, sorry. I’ve done all I can do.

Don’t hold your breath, though. From what I can tell, Google hates me. Must be all those times I tried to bait their spiders into doing bad things.
