The RSD is an XML file. It's the same as if you viewed the feed in a browser that can't parse feeds.

timethief, I see everything as expected there. What do you see?

Will update FF and try resetting my router. One question, to reset, do you mean unplug overnight? Or is there another way to reset that I don't know about (highly likely). I appreciate the help!

If that doesn't work, try resetting your router.

It wasn't until I was away from my wifi and connected through another wifi connection that I tried and saw I can access the URL. So I called some friends and they told me they could see it too, no problem. I can also access it via my mobile when I'm off Wifi and on 3G. I'm wondering (and I have LIMITED knowledge of this) and really only know enough to say it MIGHT have something to do with my IP/MAC address. Almost like it wants me to go to Posterous and I've confused it. Also, for anyone following up, my wifi is a DSL connection through a standard-issue router via CenturyLink. Seriously stumped. Makes it a tad difficult to do anything in the blog.

Also, you might want to upgrade to Firefox 17. I'm pretty sure that's not the problem, but its nice to stay up-to-date.

Turns out, it was up all along, but my devices are pointed in the wrong direction. Has anyone ever had this issue? I imported from Posterous. I think it has something to do with my IP or MAC address on my router but I'm not sure and I'm definitely not sure what to do about it. I turned it off and unplugged it for an hour while also shutting down my computer. I cleared my cache, browsing history and cookies. I use Mozilla Firefox. The URL is themommahen.com. I'm at my wit's end. Will unplug modem overnight and try to reset IP address, but we've done that before and it didn't work. Any help is much appreciated.
