You know, I started completely over because I did the above and still feed was not working.
So I began by using the default URL recommended by Blubrry and it validated based on two existing posts with media files inserted in default box:
http://www.alisoncummings.com/feed/podcast/ Name Podcast (default channel)
Episodes 2
URL alisoncummings.com/feed/podcast/
I then created a new
Feedburner RSS Feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/SMIpodcastseriesMy Chris Garrett post showed in my Feedburner RSS feed and also also show in my Google subscription.
Then my second, later Michael Martine post overwrote first one in the Feed even though I had 5 as default number of posts to show in feed vs. most recent...
In the process of deleting and reposting the Michael Martine post, the Blubrry site feed
http://www.alisoncummings.com/feed/podcast/ went from valid to invalid.
All plugins but PowerPress were deactivated during this process.
Now I am not sure what to do, as I also created another channel, went through same steps and while 2 posts showed, the feed never validated.
At least I did get a feed working one step further than before ...
So, I will try again from the beginning, deleting my posts and *everything* related if I can just get the foolproof steps ... Ack! Maybe I am still missing something in the settings?
For example, in Podcast Channel settings, is this field supposed to remain blank?
FeedBurner Feed URL (leave blank to use current feed)
Use this option to redirect this feed to a hosted feed service such as FeedBurner.
Bypass Redirect URL:
http://www.alisoncummings.com/feed/podcast/?redirect=noThis is my last shot ...
Thanks.
