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.

Reminds me of plurk
busted!

Facebook Privacy Violation: Secret Group Activity is Public!
I have also posted this inside a facebook discussion forum
this is a warning/plea for help
i created a secret group which means
“The group will not appear in search results or in the profiles of its members. Membership is by invitation only, and only members can see the group information and content.”
THIS IS NOT TRUE
I posted to a discussion forum and to the wall in this group. In both cases, the fact that I posted, the topic of my post and the name of the group were all revealed in my minifeed on my profile page. I confirmed that all this information is visible by friends of mine who are not members of the secret group.
What’s the point of making a group secret, if your activity in it is blasted to the public? Does FB not know what secret means? This is a terrible violation.

BREAKING: Now *I’m* Leaving Yahoo And I Don’t Even Work There
Wow! What a week for Yahoo!! So many people are leaving. The founder of delicious is the latest to announce, but rats have been fleeing this ship all week long. Now there’s an intense reorganization afoot.
Before any more announcements, speculation or rumor, I feel obligated to announce that I too will be leaving Yahoo! No, I’m not a Yahoo! executive. No, I’ve never worked for the company. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t see the writing on the wall. I’m out. I will continue to not be an executive at this company in crisis.
This has not been an easy decision for me. I consulted with my friends and family, though, and it’s clear. It’s time for me to move on.
