    Hi all, thank you in advance as I am a newb and know nothing about the RSS feed, except that mine is broken. When I try to view it I get a bunch of html, and when I use a validator I get several errors. The problem is I don’t know what any of them mean.

    Things I have already tried that have not worked:
    – deactivating all plugins
    – reinstalling Genesis and my child theme
    – switching to Twenty Twelve – the RSS was still broken.

    If you have any advice, I would greatly appreciate it!

    It’s in the first reply from Kmessinger.

    And a portion of it is in the bloglovin url. That link leads to my blog.

    I recommend you sort that out on bloglovin

    Again, I understand the policy doesn’t allow deletions but I’m desperate. I’ve already contacted law enforcement but in my state there isn’t anything they can really do unless I’m actually assaulted. The harassment and stalking are directed at me personally and not in any way associated with my blog but I’m desperately trying to sever all ties between my personal life and blog so he doesn’t find it and have another way to harass and stalk me. I’m trying to scrub all references online between me as a person and my blog, not just here.

    Yes the bloglovin account is mine. I never said it wasn’t. My issue isn’t that it exists but that it is referenced here where I can be found and links to my blog. My issue isn’t with bloglovin. It’s just like the link removed from here alone with any other reference to my url or blog.
    The obvious solution is delete the blog, but it has become like a baby to me and to have to delete it entirely would break my heart. Of course I’m not going to hesitate to do so if I think my safety if at risk but I thought I’d try this tactic first.

    If you check again, I had already deleted references to your website. If you have an issue with bloglovin then please contact them. I’m not deleting every single website you’ve linked, only your websites.

    I appreciate what you were able to do. I wasn’t insisting you delete bloglovin, or every link. I was simply pleading that you take this scary situation into account and do what you could. As I stated, I have no issue with Bloglovin. It’s my account, which was set up without any personal identifiers that were linked to me and would be difficult to find on it’s own. The existence of the page or account is not an issue. I just wanted to see if the link to it could be removed from here, especially since my blog name is clearly in the url and easy to figure out. I am sorry if I am aggravating you with my requests but I’m afraid and trying to mitigate any risks. Obviously it isn’t practical to scrub everything, but this situation has continued for going on 6 years now, has made me physically ill. Despite my moving across the country he keeps finding ways to find me. Inevitably I think will need to go offline in all forms, but first I’m trying my best to delete any reference to the blog since it could be used as another platform for him to stalk and harass. The only reason I am hesitant to delete the blog is because it has been an amazing outlet for me to try and cope and find support without having to disclose any of my personal identifying information, but it seems like that’s my only option at this point.

    I think you really should contact bloglovin and tell them to remove the URL in their page. It is not www.ads-software.com’s responsibility. If I have again misunderstood then you need to clarify what exactly you’re referring to.

    I think we might both be misunderstand each other. The Bloglovin link leads to my account that I created. I have no issue with it’s existence or the fact that my blog name is in the url. With the exception of this forum, that link has only been shared where the link cannot be linked back to me personally. So if someone that new me in person were to see it, they still would not know it was mine. My concern is the link appearing in this forum since I do have identifying information tied to this account. Thus someone trying to find me may find my account in this support forum and be led to the thread where they would find the link they wouldn’t otherwise be able to find because from the start I tried to be careful to keep blog-related posts and activities assigned only to accounts that I have created anonymously or with a different email that can’t be traced to me. This site is the exception. I just want the link to my bloglovin taken off the forum, or for the identifying portion after the last “/” in the url to be deleted. If it’s not possible,that’s fine. It seems inevitable I’ll have to delete my blog at this point.
