   This is the error that I get when I try to validate my rss feed.
   *****************
   Message

   HTTP Error
   Explanation

   Your feed couldn't be validated because there was a problem downloading it from the web server. You should try to diagnose this using a web browser, and make sure that the URL you supplied resolves to an accessible file.

   This usually means that the URL was wrong, or that permissions on the server don't allow us to fetch that file. The error shows the message that the server sent, which may help.
   Solution

   Make sure this URL can be downloaded with a browser, then try again.
   *******************

   I wish this stuff was in plain english.

   It seems to say there is a problem with my url. My url works fine.

   So if that is NOT what it says, then what does this mean?

   Can you please post the URL which you are trying to validate, so that we can take a look at it?

   Thanks.

   Probably due to the redirect occuring for your feeds to "/feedburner_619738/" on your site. Try testing this:

   Thanks - so how do I fix it?

   I think I see the problem - there are a bunch of little yellow "falses" after all the permalinks.

   Yesterday, I changed my permalink formatting. Should I go back and re-upload all my old posts (not that many - it is a new blog) with the new permalink format?

   I think I figured it out - I changed the url (as you showed) in the feedvalidator thingy. Was that the right thing to do?

   If it works, it's the right thing. :)
