Frequent visitors here to TrishaLyn.com will notice that the design has changed, among other things. I haven’t updated in awhile because I’m trying to fix the issues first. This is all in an attempt to NOT corrupt my source feed.
As with all budding bloggers, I’ve screwed the pooch a bit and now having to fix what I broke. Apparently a combination of “Pretty Permalinks” structure and my old theme are killing my RSS feed for some reason. Whenever I change the permalink structure the source feed dies and I get an XML not well parsed message.
So I admit that I’m at a loss and don’t know how to fix this without going back to the ugly default permalink structure. And that also kills all the links that are out there & doesn’t sync previous Disqus comments to their posts, so I really do NEED to go back to the pretty permalinks… but how do I do that without losing the feed?
I’m working on it… if you have suggestions, throw them at me PLEASE. I’ll, of course, share the solution once I find it. I’m not giving up!
I’m getting some help from a heavy hitter in the blogosphere/affiliate marketing world… so let’s all hope this works out. By the by, I changed the design because I thought it was my old theme that was mucking things up, but I actually really like this new theme. Professional but still “me”. Meh anyway… HELP 😛

TrishaLyn,
I like this theme. I never could understand how the theme can affect the feed. I am not that technical, but as far as I am aware, the core files are responsible to output the feed.
You got me spooked for a moment there as one of my 2.5.1 was messing with the feed as well, but it was very easy to fix. I wish FeedBurner would have an option to notify us whenever our feed is clunking…. Unless there is that option already.
Good luck with this new theme.
TrishaLyn,
One more thing…
I am subscribing to your blog via e-mail. If you can you should increase the size of the font in the e-mail preferences over at FeedBurner, it comes through really tiny.
Thanks for the input Vlad, I will definitely look into that. The feed issue is fixed – turns out it was 2 of my plugin's duking it out lol. Special thanks to Scott Jangro for figuring it out and fixing it for me. Will highlight it in another post. 🙂
this is fun
thanks Changes A-Foot, very good
