I got an email saying there was something wrong with my feed, as it’s apparently borking in Sage. I can’t seem to reproduce the error here (Sage is borking in general for me, and the feed validates and renders in the aggregators I’ve tested).
Anyone else having problems? Something I should be worried about? Maybe just something intermittent? Something related to Feedburner?
Also, this is posted using the new ecto 3 alpha – I haven’t used a standalone blogging app in years, but if this works, it’s about as close to the perfect app as I can figure. Even offers searching and sorting of Categories, and resizing/uploading of images…
Update: Cool. It worked. I’ll be buying a license for ecto 3. Haven’t used it since back in the Kung Fu days (wasn’t the original version of the app called KungLog or something?)

You’re feed seems to have been working fine in my netvibes, however, I did try and add a feedburner feed the other day and it was invalid. Perhaps feedburner just went on the frits for a few hours?
Thanks, Andre. Hopefully that’s all it is/was.
Hi D’Arcy-
It’s back working fine- sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Can you share why a standalone blogging app like ecto 3 alpha is needed- I blog like crazy using WP and pressit- and don’t seem to have problems.
Thanks!
It works fine with Google Reader. By the way, if you’re on a Mac, I like Qumana for blogging.
As much as it pains me to say so… I’m afraid Sage stopped being a workable RSS reader a long time ago, you just need to check how long it’s been since an update to it.
Wizz RSS is pretty good but it’s rather heavy. Myself I ended up switching to Google Reader for RSS and Sage for testing RSS on sites I’m working on.
@David: glad it’s working again/still
I don’t _need_ a standalone app, but ecto3 really nailed the categories interface. Even WordPress falls down on that. Only Drupal’s freetagging UI is better…
@Heather: Tried Qumana after Northern Voice 2006. Wasn’t too impressed. I might try the latest version just for kicks, though.
@Xeelee: I’ve never really used Sage. I tried it a couple of times just to see, but never switched to it. I’m on Google Reader now, after a year or so on BlogBridge.
Ok, your feed has just died in my netvibes account, I get this lovely little message “looks like this feed is not valid or currently not responding” Could it be that you have to resynch with feedburner?
Update, I just pasted your feedburner address in my browser and this is what feedburner said:
“Feed Address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/DarcyNormanDotNet
HTTP Error Code: 500
Detail: There was a problem retrieving the feed: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out”
Hope it helps
It borked again- and I tried to resubscribe- gotta love this error message:
Bang! Kapowww! Krakkk!
(FeedBurner encountered an error while trying to bring you this feed and is now keeping its head down. Details follow.)
Feed Address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/DarcyNormanDotNet
HTTP Error Code: 500
Detail: There was a problem retrieving the feed: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
What can I do about this?

Yeah. Dreamhost is having problems. Again. Sites are going up and down for whatever reason. Sorry. They say it’ll be resolved shortly. Well, if this comment goes through, it _might_ be resolved already. I’ve pinged FeedBurner, and applied the nuclear option to Resync it.
