# rss feed issue

 * This is the error that I get when I try to validate my rss feed.
    *****************
   Message
 * HTTP Error
    Explanation
 * Your feed couldn’t be validated because there was a problem downloading it from
   the web server. You should try to diagnose this using a web browser, and make
   sure that the URL you supplied resolves to an accessible file.
 * This usually means that the URL was wrong, or that permissions on the server 
   don’t allow us to fetch that file. The error shows the message that the server
   sent, which may help.
    Solution
 * Make sure this URL can be downloaded with a browser, then try again.
    *******************
 * I wish this stuff was in plain english.
 * It seems to say there is a problem with my url. My url works fine.
 * So if that is NOT what it says, then what does this mean?

 * Can you please post the URL which you are trying to validate, so that we can 
   take a look at it?
 * Thanks.

 * Probably due to the redirect occuring for your feeds to “/feedburner_619738/”
   on your site. Try testing this:

 * I think I see the problem – there are a bunch of little yellow “falses” after
   all the permalinks.
 * Yesterday, I changed my permalink formatting. Should I go back and re-upload 
   all my old posts (not that many – it is a new blog) with the new permalink format?

 * I think I figured it out – I changed the url (as you showed) in the feedvalidator
   thingy. Was that the right thing to do?

 * If it works, it’s the right thing. `:)`
