Hi Everyone, I had been receiving some complaints about compatibility of Syndic8 with various patch levels of IE6. It turns out that one short-lived patch...
Just a brief apology to the Syndic8 community. Unfortunately, due to recent unforeseen shifts in my career path (an oh-so-kind way of putting it <grin>), I...
I'm not sure why feed 48846 is awaiting repair as the validator always says its OK but anyway, it is still saying that the feed is OK. Can this get approved...
... It didn't pass on 2/13, when I last reviewed it. It does now, and has been approved. It's my usual practice to send an e-mail on feeds I mark 'awaiting ...

Thank you!!! I wasn't aware there isn't an E-mail address. I'll see if I can get it into the feed data information. I really appreciate all that Syndic8...
I've tried most every trick I know and cannot figure out why the feed is getting a "Cannot Fetch". It's slowish but nowhere near a 60 second timeout though...
I think there's a DNS or network routing issue underneath this. Here is what traceroute says: traceroute to www.wiccanweb.ca (209.139.247.32), 30 hops max, 38...
Thanks Jeff. The sites traffic is actually increasing so I know the hits and distribution are up.. but there was some updates in the server room around that...
... everything about the traceroute screams 'router problem' - or at least something is not passing ICMP. ... but clearly the backbone provider (verio) isn't...
Hi, This feed looks fine and running for me. The part you can't traceroute to the host is usual this days, it doesn't mean anymore network or dns problems. ...
You got it.. exactly. The router no longer passes ICMP packets.. which is slowly becoming the norm in Canada. I never even thought Syndic8 would rely on ICMP...
... it is likely not syndic8, but almost certainly is your upstream link. blocking ICMP breaks MTU discovery and a range of other things. if your upstream is...
Sorry I wasn't clear enough. It is the last router in the chain above that is blocking the ICMP packets and by the look it's getting all types. With the...
With a little programming you can query the NIH PubMed database and export the results as RSS. This enables you to read and aggregate medical literature...

This is very cool, thanks for posting it! I would ask users to refrain from Suggesting these to Syndic8. I don't have the space to store all of these. Jeff; On...
... what syndic8 *does*. the traffic **ON PORT 80** isn't getting through because your network is completely hosed. As far as I can gather RSS it's simply a...
Whoops, forgot to mention the potential space problem. The technique is only meant to boost RSS (or Atom), not to clog up Syndic8. My apologies. There is a...
Jeff, This raises an interesting question as to how Syndic8 should treat dynamic or generated feeds. I noticed a few Blogdigger feeds in Syndic8, and while I...
Please, will some editor check the 'Metadata' box for my feed 49801 (http://autosys.us/blog). I do have metadata in my rss feed. thanks, Michael McDaniel ... ...

Ah, that's how it is done. I asked for an editor a bunch of weeks ago to correct the entry for my blog, feed 41703 , freerangegourmet.felixfrenz.com , but it...
