My client and I are ready to throw rotten fruit in frustration over Feedburner. I can’t tell if this is a Feedburner thing or if it’s something to do with the source feed in EE missing something that Feedburner needs, but I’ve NEVER had this big of an issue and we’re at our wit’s end. Hopefully, someone has some insight? Here’s the skinny:
We have a feed here, her source feed and it works just dandy. It updates as it should. But it takes *forever* to update in Feedburner and/or never updates unless we ping it manually. Here is her Feedburner feed.
I can’t fathom why it won’t update. I see people complain about Feedburner during Google searches, but can’t seem to find much specifically about EE and Feedburner playing nicely.
Any ideas what the deal is here? She’s got quite a large following and over 6k subscribers and there’s concern about drops, so if anyone has any ideas what the problem is here, I’d welcome your input.
Thanks!
Joelle
