Heyas.

Below is a copy of a mail I've just sent to the feedburner.com mailing list. I know there's quite a few on here that use blogs and also podcast and am wondering if anyone can give me a heads up of what I'm doing wrong here?

Cheers

*Hi guys.

I'm a new subscriber and a totally newbee to the world of RSS.

I have setup a blog on,

www.blogger.com

I think I might have made a mess of things though....

I wanted to have the blog publish to my ftp site so i could publish via email. So I've my blog on my site at,

http://www.djpaddy.co.uk/technic

I took a massive break from my blogs for a while. Which is why they have not been updated in ages.

I really don't know what I'm doing here. I set a site feed up on blogger. When I look in my folder on my domains ftp I've got an .rss.xml file and an atom.xml file.

My blog publishes fine with blogger. However, my news agragator and feedburner don't like the xml files. FeedBurner finds two xml files but neither are valid.

Additionally when I try and post via email to my blog now I get a mailer demon error bounce back, informing me that the message was rejected.

Can anyone help me please?

Thank you for reading!

Dj Paddy*

Well, your XML files all must be in the same files in order for you to put the in the same FTP site. And, your messages have been rejected possibly because of a wrong address, or an invalid one.
If you have any questions, please email me at Nimer's email

I decided to ditch blogspot and went to wordpress.com

Much more intuitive interface plus the address is recognised by feed burner with no problems.

That works too. I still wonder. Why didn't recognize your XML files? I am thinking it co0uld have been because of invalid code.
