My file is wp-rss2.php...and I did use the RSS option. I get an error every time. Does that little "2" make a difference?
Peace,

I have tried using the RSS option and pointing it toward the wp-rss.php file but I get the following: ERROR: The underlying connection was closed: The remote name could not be resolved. Any suggestions? I'm a newbie at wordpress.

URL please...

I meant to come back to let you know my bloglet problem is solved. It was a matter of that little number 2. Works like a charm now.

I can't get mine to work! Here's the info I entered into bloglet:
weblog title: Megiddo
weblog url: http://blog.meg-tech.com
server: http://blog.meg-tech.com/wp-rss.php
weblog type: RSSBut when I test it, it gives me this:
ERROR: The underlying connection was closed: The server committed an HTTP protocol violation.And when I tested it with a feed validator ( http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://blog.meg-tech.com/wp-rss.php ), it says that it's a valid feed! What's the problem here?
Oh, I have no hacks on as well

Uhm I know the fix for this ... give me a second to search for it. I had to make ac hange to wp-rss.php to get it to work (NewsGator was kicking up a fuss with the feed even though it "validated")
[EDIT] Check out this site http://www.kbcafe.com/rss/?guid=20041102095814 and read near the bottom about the Last-Modified bit.
At the moment it's more than likely got a space in it when it needs a -.
Let me know if this helps?

I've read through and followed the information on this thread, which I see is about a year old. So perhaps there is more up to date information. I see nothing in codex about Bloglet.
So in following Bobby2222's suggestion above, I used the server url as jmviews.com/feed/rss However, in looking at the files in my directory, the path would appear to be more correct as jmviews.com/wp-feed.php or jmviews.com/wp-rss.php or jmviews.com/wp-rss2.php
I've tried to carry out the last-modified fix, but do not find the word "modified" in the php file.
Any ideas?

I have heard several reports recently that Bloglet is broken and the owner isn't responding to any emails inquiring about the situation. You may be better off using a WordPress plugin to manage email subscriptions, like Skippy's Subscribe2: http://www.skippy.net/blog/category/wordpress/plugins/subscribe2/

Thanks, Macmanx,
I did try subscribe2, put it on both my blogs only to find out afterward that it only works when entries are manually posted. I set all my posts for scheduled sends. Too bad, it's a nice little plugin.
Any other ideas?

You might want to talk to Skippy about that. I'm sure that he would be willing to fix that for you.

I have talked with Skippy. He says it's not on his priority list. Unfortunately.

Try http://yoursite.foo/wp-rdf.php at bloglet.com...

Thanks for the suggestion, Schulte.
In one blog, I have tried using in the server field at bloglet.com
http://mydomain1.com/wp-rdf.php This gives me a green checkmark in the status column, but so far, no email announcement.In the other blog, I am using http://www.mydomain2.com/feed/rss which gives me a green status check mark and after several tries, I finally have an email announcement.
And I have tried http://www.mydomain1.com/feed/rss on the first domain, but I get the error message telling me this is not going to work.
Any other thoughts?
And, of course, I may have to come full circle back to Macmanx's comment that Bloglet is broken and not rely on it.
It's just that I know that most of my readers are not as likely to sign up for RSS feeds, so I wanted to make email alerts available. I already have subscribers.
Thanks.

MACinSM,
For what it's worth, I'm no longer using Bloglet, as it continued to work irregularly with WordPress feeds (at least for me anyway).
Been using Skippy's Subscribe2 2.1.5 now -- http://www.skippy.net/blog/category/wordpress/plugins/subscribe2/ -- and have liked the results (I did meddle with it a little). I did run into the scheduled sends issue recently and asked him about it. He said that hooking subscribe2 into WP-Cron would be a possibility. I don't believe he gave a timeline, but this certainly would address pre-scheduled post notifications. In my case, I'm more concerned about the post content appearing than the notifications themselves -- and if I want to force the issue, I just set the status to draft and then to publish to force the notification to go out for a particular posting.

I switched to it as well. I feel that over all it gives more and is more accurate for my needs. It actually is great, I have run into style issues where it doesn't line up properly with the theme I am using, but I figure it is still better than Bloglet. Main reason, the notifications are sent immediately - not a day later.
