OneWebDay Is Coming Sept. 22nd or Why I Love The Internet
cross-posted to Jack & Jill Politics
I am an ambassador for OneWebDay, an annual effort to:
focus attention on a key internet value (this year, online participation in democracy)
focus attention on local internet concerns (connectivity, censorship, individual skills)
create a global constituency that cares about protecting and defending the internet
I got online in 1994 because a parent at my high school worked for UUNet and donated a connection to our school. We had one computer in the corner of the lab with access, not to the “web” (cause that didn’t quite exist), but to the “Internet.”

Need Help With Feedburner + Wordpress. Can’t Burn Valid Feed
(1) feed i’m trying to burn http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/feed
(2) feedvalidator says it’s ok but
(3) here’s feedburner not letting me burn it
The URL you entered does not appear to be a valid feed. We encountered the following problem: Unknown feed format encountered (The root element is [Element: <html/>])
I hate posting all my tech questions to my blog, but feedburner doesn’t seem to offer any support whatsoever. They have a Google Group. That’s all.
I’ve tried using jackandjillpolitics.com/feed/atom and jackandjillpolitics.com/wp-rss2.php
They all result in the unhelpful cryptic message above.
Other info that might be of use? The blog software is installed at /blog but i have the public address as /
Could there be something in the .htaccess file?
Thanks to anyone who can hook me up. We have lots of RSS subscribers, and I don’t want them to lose out.
Wordpress is forcing text to wrap around image. Help!

Reminds me of plurk
