I’m having the same problem with Google Reader’s Shared Items feed. The URL makes it look like the feed is Atom and the RSS sidebar widget doesn’t display the content properly. It has the exact symptoms jjmajava described above.
I’m new to WordPress… any suggestions for alternate ways to display Atom feeds in the weblog’s sidebar?
Problem still exists in WordPress 2.3.2.
This problem still exists in WordPress 2.3.3. Something having to do with magpie and not parsing properly.
