RSS Issues....

I am having RSS issues. Sometimes I feel like I am doing more "maintenance" on my blog than actual posting. If you don't know about RSS stuff... or don't care... you can skip this post.

I have tried to start using Feedburner because it is a Google "product" and the analytics & follower stats seemed to be the most reliable. Yet, I noticed with my wife's RSS reader her "Atom" feed wasn't updating a recent post or two. Then I subscribed to the "RSS" feed and that wasn't updating.

My main problem is that I don't know how to properly integrate my old feeds into the Feedburner since there was both Atom & RSS. I don't know which feed is the best... so I am keeping the Feedburner one as the link on my site. If you use another one just check it against the website to make sure it is working properly. If you are having issues please email me and let me know.

If anyone can tell from this post what my problem might be... please email me, thanks.

[[UPDATE]]
I think that the Feedburner is the best feed right now... but I can't be 100% sure because the readers that my wife and I use are acting weird. My problem might be in the program itself. Let me know if you experience anything weird. If you re-subscribe to Feedburner please tell me if you are getting the most recent posts.


[[UPDATE Part 2 - Giving UP!! :(  ]]
Ok... I have zero clue what is going on. Feeds on my computer are updating but not on another computer on the same network. I have a feeling it has something to do with have the feeds load into google's reader (since the computer that isn't updating auto syncs with google reader) but I really don't know. It is late, I am frustrated, and I am doing the same things over and over expecting a different result which is the definition of insanity. I hope you RSS folks aren't affected by this - and if you are... please just hang with me for a bit until it is worked out. The site itself works fine and seems to work in Safari just dandy!
