We'll keep trying. But Google clearly isn't doing the right thing here. Our feeds just work. Except in google profiles.
He's asking if you personally have ever deleted your feed & then tried to have it work again. I think that if someone takes this up with Google, it would be very important for them to have that info... that trying to do it a second time is when it doesn't work (and also that our regular feeds have never worked). It's already been a long time since that Buzz conversation that Havanese reported this way in an earlier post:
".....The main points here
1. From the buzz conversation they know of some bugs
2. Main RSS feeds at SM should work but don't
3. Boxee link feeds sometimes work which isn't the answer we need
4. Google guys will hopefully get back to us next week with a solution...."
And obviously Google did not get back to us "next week" with any solutions.

Hi Anna Lisa - I did that. Go check my profile. It's broken now. We can keep trying at Google but guess what YOU should, too! Thanks.

Oh crap. That's a pain, Andy. Well, I guess it confirms what we thought. If you see my post #85 here in this thread, you'll see I already did "take it up" with Google, in the only way I saw to do so. I also recommended that others chime in as well. But as I said, it's just a forum, and I don't see any other place to bring it up. I highly doubt one of us paeons is going to get anywhere with them. You guys at the top would have a lot more leverage. I still don't really know who ever sees those profiles anyway. Most people don't even realize they exist. You didn't know how to find mine w/o the link, and I wouldn't have known how to find yours. It's kinda weird. I only did it because someone told me to.

You're a pro and you sell your work. Twitter is a big piece of online marketing, and Free & easy to do. It's also a great way to get in touch with people at companies.
This worked for me

Graham, the problem has come in when we already had a feed, then deleted it for any reason. After that, it's been impossible to re-install it. I don't think initial installation was a problem anymore. But trying to re-install it was. I had completely forgotten about it though, and consequently haven't tried for a long long time to re-install it. I still have never really figured out what use there is for Google profiles. I've never actually witnessed anyone else using them for anything, nor do I know how to find someone else's profile or why I'd want to bother.
