   1) Feedburner appears to find the feed for posts and comments – but then when
   it goes to burn the feed it returns the error
 * An error occurred connecting to the URL: Error getting URL: 404 – Not Found
 * When I go to valid it it returns this error:
 * The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following
   problem: Error on line 17: The value of attribute “src” associated with an element
   type “null” must not contain the ‘<‘ character.

 * it’s more likely a plugin is messing up
    deactivate them all and reactivate one
   by one – testing in between

 * No good..I deactivated all and I get a 404 error. If I put [http://www.juliebooz.com/feed](http://www.juliebooz.com/feed)
   into a browser, my livebook marks ask me if I want to subscribe to the “original”
   feed I burned that “broke” (for lack of better words) and that I deleted out 
   of Feedburner. It still brings me to a 404 error
 * I since then have not been able to burn a new feed that works.
