Okay, it’s my fault. I broke it. As I tested my Talkr podcast, I broke my Feedburner feeds. So sorry to all you RSS feeders.
What happened?
All my feeds are forwarded to FeedBurner. This allows me to better manage my feed statistics as well as offload the [minimal] feed bandwidth. When I Talkr-enabled my site, I setup Talkr so that it pointed to my local feed. As you guessed, my site redirected Talkr to my FeedBurner feed. Now here’s the kicker, I setup FeedBurner to read my Talkr feed. This was so it would pickup the generated audio. Big mistake.
Are you thoroughly confused? Here’s a visual:
My site redirects to FeedBurner. Talkr feeds FeedBurner. FeedBurner feeds Talkr. It’s an endless loop. So the feeds were never updated.
How’d I fix it?
I created a special feed just for Talkr. If you really want to know the technical, I created a new RewriteRule in my .htaccess file. This feed will not get redirected and it allows Talkr to retrieve any new updates. So no more crazy redirects.
Thanks for your patience!
