Just a note to address a key question, i.e., why your site is not approved yet.
First, a clarification -- your feed is part of your site, and it is your feed, not your site, that is pending approval. One site can have many feeds, and a feed can exist without a site in the normal sense (although of course it must be hosted on a public-access server to be successfully handled through Syndic8 or any other similar service). The feed is the XML data that is best consumed by computer, the site is what humans will generally prefer to look at. Second, your feed is being generated by Blogger, and Blogger is not generating an up-to-date Atom format, so right now your feed (and thousands of others) do not pass the vital test of validation. Try it -- go to your feed in Syndic8.com and click the "Validate Feed" icon on the left. Normally, a feed that doesn't validate will get marked as pending repair, rather than being approved, but in this case -- because so many people are affected and there is nothing they can do about it, being dependent on Blogger to get caught up -- I believe we're just letting such feeds sit in the approval queue for later review. I hope that answers the most important question. And yes, with time I'm sure all of this will become much clearer! -- Stuart Whitmore [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.just-stuart.com/ On 1/24/06, scratchpad2k <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi everyone..
