My blog’s RSS feed was crushed for a couple days. I was actually wondering why my NewsFox RSS reader couldn’t retrieve any new data from my feed. It was when I read Llama’s comment that I clicked on the RSS button myself and saw there was something wrong.
After checking and looking and scratching my head a couple times, I remembered I created a new sub-domain with the same title of my RSS feed. This caused my feed to disappear.
It’s all working now again so feel free to subscribe. :-)
This brings back memories of my almost daily discoveries…
Folks, I encourage you to not only check your site at least one per day but also your RSS feed. I see so many sites and blogs that display an MySQL database or a WordPress error. Strange symbols or lines of code, some of them even come from the Webhost.
It can have many reasons, sure. Just make sure to know how your blog is doing and if it’s in good shape.
If you don’t have the time nor the inclination to perform this task yourself, why not hire someone doing it for you? The intelligence factor necessary to perform this kind of task is fairly low, so is the hourly rate. :-)

P.S. Now I still have to figure out what to do so the feed will be published in a sub-domain instead of a sub-folder. (I.e., instead of domain.com/feed to feed.domain.com.) Any ideas?
