   I've got a bunch of RSS feed problems.

   1) I loaded the podpress plugin on my site (www.begoodventures.com/joeandwanda). It is working fine, but I can't get the feed listed in itunes. The url listed in the "podcast feed url" field is http://begoodventures.com/joeandwanda/?cat=26/?feed=podcast. It points to the category where all my podcasts are placed (3 so far). I can put that URL in my web browser and it pulls up the posts. However, it is not showing as valid when I try to subscribe to it in iTunes. Further, when I validate the feed within the podpress plugin, it comes back as valid, but it switches the feed URL to http://begoodventures.com/joeandwanda/?feed=rss2 on the validation screen. That just happens to be the feed for my entire blog (as opposed to just the podcast category).

   2) The subscribe feeds on my wordpress theme (in the header) don't work. I get a 505 error. It appear to be looking for /feed/rss2 vs. /?feed=rss2.

   3) I was told that I should burn my feed in feedburner. I tried that and appear to have been successful burning a feed of my entire blog (http://feeds.feedburner.com/JoeAndWanda-OnManagement) However, I was unable to burn a feed of just my category that housed my podcasts (i.e. category 26). I keep getting "FeedBurner discovered more than one feed at that address. Please select one to use as your source:" It forces me to choose the one that's already there. The second one does not get created.

   Any help that you can provide would be most appreciated.

   To fix the first problem, I used the feedburner URL in itunes and then entered the same one in the podpress plugin. It works fine. Unfortunately the podcast feed widget that comes with podpress does not, because it's till pointing to a different url. Don't know how to change that.

   2)I went into the code and made the change from /feed/rss2 to /?feed=rss. I did that once before, but apparently didn't wait long enough for it to take. Not sure why I needed to make the change, because from what I've read, both ways should get me to the feed.

   3)This was a bonehead mistake on my part. I attempted again and was able to create a second feed. The fact that it had discovered a feed already has nothing to do with it. I think the reason I got thrown was that it kept taking the name of my entire blog.
