Welcome back Feedburner Feeds
It's been over a month with lots of emails, Help Desk requests plus comments here on the News, and finally I can unequivocally state that Feedburner feeds are back. For those who are new to the situation, or have been hiding under a rock, Feedburner decided to change their robot.txt settings towards the end of September. This forced every news aggregator, including Google Reader into a tailspin (albeit momentarily for these giants), and left us little people grappling for answers.
While it has been a tumultuous month, the lessons learned will become valuable experiences for Blotanical's journey ahead. The learning curve has been exponential.
Needless to say, now we can move on and start working on some of your wonderful suggestions and ideas. Thanks all for your patience and I look forward to the continuing journey.

So glad this is fixed. But I have noticed that some of the latest posts are showing up only in my faves list, Like Clay and Limestone and The Home Garden, but not in the top 200 list, even though they are both in the top 200. Just to let you know. ;->

If we took feedburner off, do we now put it back on?

Is it too early to worry now, Stuart? I posted early this morning and have been checking all day but have yet to see my posts.

@deb - only if you want to. The code is now picking up blogger posts just as well so if you want to leave it as is then you can. Otherwise, feel free to change it back.
