Feed Problems?

I’ve gotten a few messages that our feed is not working properly. And, it occurs to me that I haven’t been getting email updates for the past couple of days.

The default feed produced by WordPress (https://baselinescenario.com/feed/) is working fine, and I can read the blog fine in Google Reader. But the Feedburner version (http://feeds.feedburner.com/BaselineScenario), which generates the emails, is stuck at January 8. I’ll look into it, but if you have any diagnostic details or suggestions let me know below.

(I suspect it is related to my having changed the number of items that go into the feed from 15 to 200; I was trying to figure out a better way to convert the blog to PDF, and that was one of the steps. I reset it this morning, so that may fix it.)

Update: Forcing Feedburner to ping the default feed worked; the Feedburner feed is up to date now. I’ll watch it to see if it picks up the next post or not.

Update 2: It did. I’m guessing that email subscribers will get an email tonight. (Of course, most of you aren’t here to read this.)

  1. I stopped the e-mail service cause I’m here so much anyway. The Reader is working good. I’ve read the counter on the feedburners isn’t very good. I can’t really be sure, but feedburner seems to lag, and I have suspicions it’s not accurate. I’m not sure though, it may be dead on.

  2. January 12 and I’m still not getting my e-mail updates. Thought maybe you two were on an extended vacation at a place with no internet connection or some such silliness.

  3. When I started my site I had 6 subscribers (I’m sure all six were because this site). Now I only have 3. I guess my writing is getting worse (haha). Anybody want to play a violin for my sad story???

  5. Usually I get you in my box around 8:07 pm your time after the PBS News Hour here, I still have not received your email tonight … and here I thought I had upset the world with my comments on the dog blog. I had come back from a really bad town meeting that day, sorry if I offended anyone.

    Ted, I didn’t know you had a site. I’ll have to check it out after I get back from locking myself in a hotel room to spend some time writing.

    I look forward to seeing you back in my inbox in two weeks.
