I'm hoping to get these other fixes online in the next week.

It will likely be one of the premium features (there are a lot planned). As for the crashing - that's a server problem that I'm looking in to, but if you put a lot of feeds into a single blend then it seems to have problems with running for too long, collecting all the feeds.

Yes, I was talking about http://feedvalidator.org/. I’ve had another look, and I’ve found a couple of things: your RSS feed is recognised by Firefox and IE7 if I remove the invalid RSS namespace; and your Atom feed is displayed properly by them if I change the type of the content and summary to "html", not the incorrect "xml".

The longest you should have to wait is an hour, but please comment here again if it takes longer than that.

I've also noticed something odd with a Google Reader feed. I blended my Shared Items feed on its own in order to see whether it would reorganise my dates (it did, great) and whether it would show in the way I wanted in my sandpit blog (ie text rather than script and thus possibly spiderable, check, it did that too). However when I updated the feed it didn't update the blend. Not yet anyhow. thanks again, hope feedback is of use H Fantastic application, I’ve been having a great deal of fun with it.

This tends to be the case with most feeds produced by FeedBlendr, because of the way that they are compiled and the way that I try to retain as much information as possible from the source feeds. I'll have a look at the validator (I assume you mean http://feedvalidator.org/ ?) and see if it's got some problems that I can fix relatively easily, and I'd never tried any of my output in Yahoo! 360, but it does work in MyYahoo! so that surprises me. I'll see if I can figure out what's going on there. Thanks!

However, Firefox, IE7, the feed validator and Yahoo! 360° don’t really like my blended RSS feed at http://feedblendr.com/subscribe/11766. This combination of del.icio.us’ RSS feed and Google Reader’s Atom feed seems to be a killer; Yahoo! Pipes hasn’t got the hang of it yet, either. I’m looking forward to seeing what else FeedBlendr can be used for, apart from boring personal combinations like mine. Lovely app!
