Troubleshooting RSS
We’ve done a little bit of work to try getting the RSS feeds working properly. It would, however, be helpful to have more data. We have resynced, we have repinged it from Feedburner, and we fixed a warning that showed up on the feed validator (turns out that WP2.0 comes out of the box with an out of date bit of markup: wfw:commentRSS should be wfw:commentRss, and you fix it in wp-rss2.php).
If you got this post via RSS, what feed were you using? Atom, RSS 1, RSS 2, via Feedburner’s link or direct, and with what reader?
If you didn’t get this post via RSS and should have, same questions!
Edit: Well, for whatever reason, the URLs www.raphkoster.com/feed, /feed/atom, /feed/rss, and /feed/rss2 were non-functional, redirected to the front page. So readers of course saw that as malformed RSS. A bit of .htaccess voodoo seems to have fixed it, but I still don’t know why those URLs didn’t work by default, given that www.raphkoster.com/wp-rss.php and /wp-atom.php and /wp-rss2.php worked fine.
Anyway, all of those now redirect to FeedBurner as well, so everything should (cross your fingers) be working right.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
My reader is pointed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/RaphsWebsite and I got this entry fine. I’m using “Liferea”, for Linux.
Came here on a whim; I have Bloglines set to watch https://raphkoster.com/?feed=rss2 and it did not catch any of the posts since “Site Issues”. It has historically had trouble with redirects (Alice’s change was particularly painful), though.
oh, Bloglines is working fine now.
Google Reader (http://www.google.com/reader/) got it fine via https://www.raphkoster.com/?feed=rss2
This now shows up in my news reader (Google homepage)
Sorry ( you need an edit) VIA http://feeds.feedburner.com/RaphsWebsite
REading ?feed=rss2 using Google Reader – and I don’t seem to have missed anything.
I use the URI https://raphkoster.com/?feed=rss2 via Akregator. It’s now working fine!
I use Google Reader (http://www.google.com/reader/view) and I’m getting it via (https://www.raphkoster.com/feed/). It’s coming through loud and clear, and as far as I know I haven’t missed any posts thus far.
