Strange Feed Problem (4 posts)

    I will make this question short and sweet.

    When I add my feed to Google Reader using this url everything works fine:

    http://humansecurityreview.com/feed/

    When I add my feed to Google Reader using this url Greader finds a feed but it is broken:

    http://humansecurityreview.com/

    I cannot figure out why. I am been trying for about a week to fix this.

    I know on other blogs you can just type in the blog's homepage url into Google Reader and it finds the feed.

    Any help?

    The error Google Reader gives me is:

    "(title unknown)" has no items.

    The error seems to be because it's detecting this as the URL:

    http://humansecurityreview.com/http://feeds.feedburner.com/HumanSecurityReview

    Which is wrong, of course. Did you ever have a feedburner plugin working on your site? Google may simply have not refreshed their cache of your page recently and so don't know that that is not the correct address anymore.

    One possible fix would be a forced redirect to correct them. Add this to your .htaccess file in the root:

    Redirect 301 /http://feeds.feedburner.com/HumanSecurityReview http://humansecurityreview.com/feed/

    All on one line, of course.
