Thankfully Wordpress handles RSS nicely, and any errors are usually down to mistakes in your actual post. :) I’ve had some of these problems on previous systems (Things like Fusionnews).

Results were very interesting. So readers could not find the feed. Here is <a href="http://aquaculturepda.edublogs.org/2007/08/09/what-your-blog-looks-like-in-different-feed-readers/" rel="nofollow">my road test of the top feed readers for 2007</a>. Sue Hi Everyone

Thanks for commenting – I had also come to the same conclusion as Gary advised so tested my blog in several different readers today.

Results were very interesting. So readers could not find the feed. Here is my road test of the top feed readers for 2007.

Still trying to find time for bug fixing but thinking my best option is to change theme and/or reinstall wordpress. You have definitely illustrated to me how important it is to thoroughly test your RSS feed. I used a reader, but that reader re-formats the feed, so I didn't notice the problem. I will be running any future feeds through Google Reader (my favorite also) before going live with them next time. Cheers, Kate Hi Sue,

I think I need to do more of an audit of how my site appears in different feed readers. Although as someone who views most blogs through a feed reader, I had almost the opposite challenge. I'd been forgetting to check how my blog looked to people who just surfed in - and as a result was missing fixing a few bugs. I know feed-burner offer a 'feed health check' for RSS feeds... but I feel I almost need to set up a set of tabs or bookmarks in a browser to run a periodic 'full blog health check' over key pages on the blog...
