Was this issue supposed to have been resolved? Or is it broken again in 2.2.2? Or...?

It's nice to get a polite (if canned) reply. And what a relief to be able to read WordPress posts again!

Bloglines should be able to handle this, but we'll do our best to make it easy.

I've submitted it to Feedback, but I wonder if that might be why it's not showing up?

I still have that little red exclamation point next to my WordPress feeds.

Well, we'll just have to hope the Feedback gets through and the problem is solved.

It's there for several days and then it goes away and bloglines starts receiving my feed ok.

Now it's back again and none of my recent posts have reached bloglines. Like the rest of you I subscribe to several blogs and this is only happening with those hosted at wordpress. By the way, this happens whether you type in the regular url or the feed, either way the red exclamation point will show up eventually.

It is frustrating! Forget trying to establish readership because I keep losing subscribers when my feed goes down. No one wants to read a blog that has technical issues and spotty service. I think that other services can't reach it either, like Feedburner.

Sometimes I can't view my blog, it just won't load (using a variety of browsers). It's been a real problem and I'm not sure if the two are related but it seems likely. I sent feedback about this (not being able to view my blog and some other issues).

Hopefully that'll get us somewhere. But yeah -- the manual checking...the horror!

All of my .wordpress.com subscriptions have been displaying the red exclamation point of death in my Bloglines account for several days now. If this doesn't let up, I'm going to have to resort to manually looking at blogsto see if new content has been added. And I just can't let myself get that low tech.

I'm subscribed to my own blog and another WordPress.com blog via Bloglines, and then am subscribed to another 74 feeds through Bloglines as well. The non-WordPress.com feeds are showing no error whatsoever and are pulling plenty of posts. Both WordPress.com blogs show the red exclamation point, and I've tried to resubscribe a couple of times. I can't get the RSS reader to pull anything beyond posts that went up on Friday afternoon.

It seems to be a WordPress problem, although I'm not sure how to further diagnose it.

I've noticed this with WordPress.com blogs, Blogger blogs, and others. I've even noticed it with Google's blog. After a while (some times up to a day) Bloglines usually works out all the kinks, and I can once again stop working and start reading feeds ;)

Bloglines has encountered an error trying to fetch the latest version of this feed. Bloglines handles errors automatically, no action is required by you. The error was:

The feed URL returns a page that does not look like an RSS feed. This can be caused by the feed URL being incorrect, or it can be caused by a configuration issue with the server hosting the feed. If this error continues, you should check the feed URL and, if it is wrong, subscribe to the correct URL.

I know the URL is correct. As I'm a newbie I'm reporting this to you.
