 * For some reason my RSS feed is not being acknowledged by Google Reader…and I 
   know nothing about how to trouble shoot, or really even where to locate the feed…
   any advice? My blog is at [http://www.levgartman.com/blog](http://www.levgartman.com/blog).
 * Thanks!

 * Your feed works fine for me in Google Reader. I just added a subscription to 
   [http://levgartman.com/blog](http://levgartman.com/blog) and it picked it right
   up.

 * Hmm, when I add your feed to Google Reader I get all posts up to “And now for
   something completely gross” dated Oct 9th 2007.
 * Have you changed anything since October 9th?

 * Yeah, same thing for me…after 10/9 nothing else came through. Although I had 
   a similar problem around 9/13. I had signed up for feedburner around that time(
   i think) but never actually did anything with it. I’m not sure if that’s the 
   problem, but anyway, I went and logged into feedburner and deleted the feedburner
   link to my site.
 * Doesn’t look like that kicked everything through though, although I’ll give it
   some time to do so.
 * Any other suggestions?

 * I just tried again through Google Reader and it still isnt picking up those recent
   entries.
 * It’s not a WP problem, your RSS feeds are showing up fine when you visit the 
   URL directly, and its not a WP-to-Google Reader problem, because my RSS feed 
   is being picked up fine.
 * I noticed that [the post directly after the last one to show up](http://levgartman.com/blog/?p=79),
   contains a table (the Picassa thing). Do we know if Google Reader plays nice 
   with posts containing tables?

 * [I just made a test post](http://hempsworth.com/) including the Picassa table
   code, and I’m checking to see if it gets picked up or not.
 * Nothing yet, but I don’t know what the lag time usually is between a post being
   made and it appearing in Google Reader.
 * I’ll keep you posted!

 * Still nothing 10 hours later…
 * This may sound drastic but maybe you could try a fresh install, and just bring
   back your old posts and uploads?
 * Export your blog from the “Manage > Export” page, and backup the wp-content directory,
   replace the old files with a fresh install, and then import your old blog from
   the WP export file, and upload the wp-content directory.
 * Obviously, backup the entire site before trying this, database as well, just 
   in case you find yourself up a creek without a paddle ;P

 * Seems like this might be a Google Reader Problem…
    [http://levgartman.com/blog/?feed=rss2](http://levgartman.com/blog/?feed=rss2)
   is the feed url, which looks right to me, and also I have my posts published 
   to thefacebook via rss and thats working…So I guess I’ve gotta take it up with
   google? I dunno.

 * This is clearly a Google issue. I tried your URL using the Google Feed API, and
   it had no problem picking it up. Since the Reader itself is *supposed* to use
   the Feed API, I’m at a loss. Try emailing Google, it’s pretty much all I can 
   think to say.

 * This is a bunch of gibberish to me…does this make sense to anybody? I posted 
   on the google reader help forum the other day and this is the response I got:
 * Hi lgartman,
 * I took a look at your feed, and it appears that your most recent post
    (from 
   yesterday) is actually showing up in Reader as a post from back in July 2006.
   Try viewing your feed and then scrolling back a bit through the “all items” view
   and you can see it. Similarly, you can find this Monday’s post back in that same
   month.
 * What this usually means is that the feed is reusing item IDs. This
    makes Reader
   think that the new item is actually an update to a previous item, so it goes 
   back and updates that item rather than showing it as new. If you want to avoid
   this problem, you’ll need to make sure every post you ever make in your blog 
   has a unique ID.
 * Thanks,
    Graham
