I don’t know much about how RSS feeds work… but evidently when I switched the blog from being at the front page (joyfulabode.com) to joyfulabode.com/blog, something got messed up and I lost a LOT of subscribers (their feeds aren’t being updated).

I run my feed through feedburner and have updated the feed source address from joyfulabode.com/feed to joyfulabode.com/blog/feed and it seems to be working through feedburner… (when I plug in either feed address, it gives me the updated feed).

But my subscribers are still missing, about 250 of them. Anyone know what might’ve happened? Or other things I could try to fix it? I like having a new front page to act as the “hub” for my site, so I don’t really want to put the blog back where it was before.

If you don’t know but you know someone who might, please pass this problem on! I’d love any help I can get.

Thanks so much!

PS If you’re subscribed and you can still see this, how did you subscribe to the feed? If you’re no longer getting RSS updates from Joyful Abode and you came to the site to see this, what method is no longer working?

Edited to add: I just realized that the livejournal syndicated account isn’t updating, and that’s nearly 150 subscribers right there. So I put in a support request to livejournal, and hopefully they’ll fix it soon! I’m still missing about 100 other subscribers… I think feedblitz might be part of the problem. I’m not sure what else though.

Edited again 7-25: I fixed the feedblitz problem, but I’m still waiting to hear from livejournal about the syndicated feed there.
