RSS Feed not working.

Hiya,

I can't get my RSS feed (any of them) to work in either Outlook 2007 (or, as a side point and less important, as a syndication feed in Livejournal).

I understand someone else is having problems in Google Profile.

My dad says he can get it fine in his own RSS reader so it seems specific to some readers only.

Cheers
Vicky

    We'd love to help! We need to know your site name, and also the specfic feed you're working with.

    None of the feeds work: http://awesomeorson.net or http://awesomeorson.smugmug.com

    (Have tried it with both).

    You've told us to block feeds based on your SmugIslands settings:
    Look in your control panel, settings tab, and make any changes there :)

    Thanks!

    The only two options seem to be:

    Hello world!: Can Google find your smug mug?
    Hello smuggers!: Should your site be in SmugMug's search?

    Neither of these seem to relate to RSS feeds... and if that's the case, why do they work in some RSS readers and not others?

    Update!: My dad says that he can now do it in his Outlook 2007. I'm thinking it may be the feed from Firefox to Outlook 2007 that is the problem. If I load the page up in IE and then copy and paste the RSS link (which is different to the one going straight in from FF) of: http://awesomeorson.net/hack/feed.mg?Type=nicknameRecentPhotos&Data=awesomeorson&format=atom10 it works.

    Very odd... as I now have a link that I can send to friends/family, this is less urgent (and there's a small chance it's just me and my install).

    Same problem with FF and Outlook '07. Same solution .. open up in IE paste into Outlook manually.
