$50 to whoever can figure out why my feed isn’t working

So I did a bit more testing this morning. I deactivated and completely deleted all plug-ins this morning which did nothing. I then completely deleted the theme, which didn’t work. Finally I completely removed the site, did a complete re-install, and Bloglines still didn’t recognize the new feed, still the old broken feed from weeks ago. I have no idea where’s pulling that info from, but the only thing I could think is that my host (Dreamhost) keeps a blog.old file when you upgrade just in case. So I went ahead and deleted that file and still no luck.

The only thing I can think is that somehow on Blogline’s end they have a cache of the file. But it’s strange that the Atom, RSS and Feedburner files add new posts, but don’t update new posts in Bloglines.

It does seem to work fine in Google Reader and slow, but still updates in MyYahoo.

I know that while I was testing, I dropped an index.html page in the root so people wouldn’t see the index.php file. It looks like that was around the same time that the feed was cashed on Bloglines. Would that have anything to do with it? It still doesn’t explain why it’s not updating the Atom and Feedburner feeds though.

interesting, I dont have a clue what it could be, sorry. ??

I put a request into Bloglines to see what they have to say, for now, I’m just putting up a post saying Bloglines isn’t working. Weird. If I ever figure it out, I’ll put a post up here letting others know what was wrong…

For what it’s worth, I don’t think it’s Dreamhost; we’re building a brand new feed on a totally private corporate server and running into the same problem: adds to Google, validates at W3, chokes MyYahoo.

akabin, it looks like you got the rss2 php feed to work on MyYahoo (at least, I was able to subscribe to it); I’ll pay *you* if you can tell me what you did there!

MyYahoo just started working for some reason. The site works no problem w/Google Reader and now MyYahoo (with a bit more of a delay, about 5 hours), but for some reason no Bloglines. Actually, Bloglines was working, but then I unsubscribed and resubscribed and it stopped.

And to make matters even worse, my other website stopped working in Bloglines on October 2nd as well!

I sent a request to Bloglines with all the feeds that I ran through a validator and show up valid, but now all the sudden don’t work (LA Times blog?!?). We’ll see if they ever get back to me. I know WordPress has broken the RSS before, is that the case this time?

OK, I just ran my feeds through the W3 validtor and it’s saying that there’s no DOCTYPE Declaration. I’ll work on that and see if that’s what’s choking it.

Nope, all feeds show up with that. Still no solution.

Suddenly our feed was accepted by MyYahoo, too.

Perhaps Yahoo takes its time recognizing a feed, something like DNS proliferation? Might be nice if Yahoo documented it a little better.
