Feed Transfer To Google

Google changed my RSS News Feed today from Feedburner to a Google domain on my request. I did that mainly because it is then possible to add Adsense ads to the feed which I’m thinking of trying out. Since it is a transfer of the domain it could mean that some of you are experiencing difficulties during the transition phase.

That phase won’t normally last longer than 24 hours. The old feed address is automatically redirected to the new one but since I have been using feed branding at Feedburner I had to update a cname in the domain configuration to point to a new url.

I got one email so far from a user who told me that my feed was not showing up anymore and that he was receiving a 404 (not found) instead. Please let me know if you are also experiencing those difficulties. It helps if you mention the service or program that you are using to read my feed.

Update: Feed should be working now for everyone.

   I’m getting the following message with Firefox:

   Live bookmark feed failed to load.

   Thanks,

   Fred

   Fred could you try and add the feed again to see if that works. I suppose it takes up to 24 hours before you see the feed again otherwise. I tried that and it is displaying the feed normally

   Dan, Christos I contacted Google about the matter and hope they fix the issue rapidly. You can subscribe to the new feed url if you want which is showing the feed just fine.

   I also have troubles in Google Reader where I had to refresh the list a few times before I received the updated feeds.
