Do you have a Blogger blog with a feed problem?

by Melanie Nelson on September 18, 2008 · 2 comments

I received this question two weeks ago and thought it may help some of our readers.

I burn my feed through Feedburner for my Blogger blog.  Last week, some of my subscribers let me know that when the subscribed directly through Google Reader, they were only updated to July 8, ’08.  However, we were able to figure out if they subscribed through the ‘subscribe’ button on my right sidebar, things were fine.  However, as I have continued to tinker around, I now find that the Firefox RSS subscribe button in the
address bar is now giving me an invalid url message when I try to ‘subscribe’ from there. How can I correct this?

Jordan, from MamaBlogga.com was able to answer this question for us. She is completely awesome and you should be reading her.

On Blogger blogs, I believe there are two things to do that should fix this.

First, is to integrate Blogger and FeedBurner. Login to Blogger and go to Settings > Site Feed.  In the Post Feed Redirect URL box, enter the FeedBurner address.

If that doesn’t fix it, in Blogger, go to Template > Edit HTML. In the code, find the line:

<b:include data=’blog’ name=’all-head-content’/>

Delete it and replace it with the following (after you’ve customized it):

<meta content=’text/html; charset=UTF-8′ http-equiv=’Content-Type’/>
<meta content=’true’ name=’

MSSmartTagsPreventParsing’/>
<meta content=’blogger’ name=’generator’/>
<link href=’http://feeds.feedburner.com/YOUR FEEDBURNER FEED NAME HERE‘ rel=’alternate’ title=’YOUR BLOG NAME HERE RSS Feed’ type=’application/rss+xml’/>
