Kathy, I was having the same problems with Google Reader that you have with Bloglines. That was why I switched to Bloglines! I actually liked GReader better. Go figure!

I did re-subscribe in Bloglines with your Feedburner feed and everything looks okay now.

Hi Cathy, As you would see from the forums we’ve been following this up with Bloglines for some time now via emails, support tickets and work on our servers.

They operate an extremely unpleasant and inefficient way of scraping feed content: http://ma.tt/2006/06/bloglines-dos/ and have yet to modify or work around it in the last 3 years… in fact they only staff member there who did help us has since left.

I’m sure that you’ll find all about these sorts of challenges when you set up and manage your own WP site, not to mention when you try to configure it to have the features Edublogs does.

And incidentally you don’t ‘have’ to pay $ to be a supporter, it’s optional, and $25 a year would generally cover only a few months worth of hosting.

Since Im at g-reader for now, I may play with adding them to an igoogle page too. You may need to help me understand. Now Im being told the problem is Bloglines. But guess what? My feed did not show up in G-reader today either. What’s with that? Oh well I have it on a highly connected authority that it is being looked in to. Glad I know higher ranking people though I;m just a no body in particular in the blogging world.

I moved over to Google Reader a couple of months ago and actually like it better than Bloglines now. The reason for my move was just to get my feeds set up with my igoogle page, but I am glad I made the move.
