Of course, that’s one of the more fascinating things about techknowlogy, just coined that. It’s so unpredictable.

Validating your feed using the W3C Feed Validator does not alter your code in anyway. Not sure why it would have just started working if you didn’t change anything on your end. Maybe Google changed something on FeedBurner so that it would start working?

Oh well, let’s just be happy that it works now.

Hi Chris, Again, My feeds got burnt somehow (http://feeds.feedburner.com/lyvido). I tried afterwards. Q: When you "check" your feeds validity using the link you gave me, does it correct the problem? Yo've been very helpful thanks

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the link. Its +ve. I have a problem with the source due to JS (adsense codes). It says the feed is valid though but not very usable hence need to get rid of JS bit. “Houston, I have a problem!” How do I get rid of that. My brief research finds I can’t edit WP feeds code. Solution? Thanks

Lyvido,

Try running this URL. Looks like you need to get rid of those JavaScript calls in your feed in order for FeedBurner to accept it.

Thanks Chris, but I had tried that and was told the RSS feed on that address was not valid. Im sure my feeds are @ http://www.lyvido.com/feed/ . If I type it on the browser I land on them. Is there anything I'm missing?

As far as I know, you can register at feedburner.google.com.

Monica,

You could try searching their Help Group or asking a question on there.

There is also some interesting info on this post: Problems with FeedBurner Email Delivery. (Look in the comments too).

I have another question about the unverified mail addresses. I confirmed my mail address as I subscribed to my own blog. I even got the note “Email Subscription Confirmed! A message will be delivered to XXX@www.com if the publisher has produced new content on that day. No new content, no email for you.” on the confirmation homepage. Unfortunately, I’m still listed as unverified and don’t get any mails about new posts.
Other subscribers have the same problem. Can you help me? Thanks a lot!
Best regards
Monica
