   Hi everyone,
   I hope someone can guide me in how fix the problem I have now.
   I have a site running at http://www.thecolorsmagazine.com/
   Some readers let me know that they have problem subscribing to the feed.
   Once I tried to subscribe to it myself in google reader by adding url it gives me an error The feed being requested cannot be found.
   In feed details it shows the name of the feed as http://www.thecolorsmagazine.com/The%20Colors%20Magazine

   Originally the feed was http://www.thecolorsmagazine.com/?feed=rss2
   Feedburner feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheColorsMagazine
   The feed is working and does not cause any problem, and when I add it to google reader it is being fetched immediately.

   The only problem is that it does not work when I add the site to the reader using its url. It somehow shows invalid non-exisiting feed http://www.thecolorsmagazine/thecolorsmagazine

   I wonder where does that come from.
   I use wordpress 2.7.1, Arthemis theme.

   Tried to deactivate all plugins, nothing changed. Set permalinks to default - nothing changed. And since I am not a techie I seriouslt cannot see anything in the code.

   Any ideas what it might be and how to fix it? I would really be thankful.

   Of course people still can subscribe by adding the original or feedburner feed to the reader but I would want it to work properly.

   well, you have 2 working feeds - one at feedburner and one on your site?
   So how does that help you?
   What do you want?

   they are working fine but the only issue is that when someone adds my site to google reader by url google reader is fetching for some reason http://www.thecolorsmagazine.com/The%20Colors%20Magazine and says the feed cannot be found... i wonder where does this come from and if I can fix it?

   it really is... what did you add when subscribing, a feed url or the site url?

   yup, that does not cause any problem, because it directly take you to feedburner feed.
   That's not what I am talking about.
   When you log into google reader and click on add subscribtion and then give my url, it gives an error, says the feed cannot be found.

    I've discovered an error similar to this one as well just now.
    I am using the following code in the footer of http://www.newventuresbc.com

    <a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>"><span class="hide">Entries (RSS)</span></a>

    The feed works if I add the feed url to my google reader.

    The feed looks like it's working in Firefox. I can see the content and the various reader options. If I select Google Reader from that option, then Google tells me that the feed cannot be found.

    Safari is even worse and just gives me an error page when the feed icon is clicked.

    I changed
    <?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>

    to
    <?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>

    and now it's working.... Whatever...
