Feed updates

Please help me to understand why only the first ten items from my feed have been picked up. I have created two new entries in the last two days and they show up on my Yahoo feed but not here - why is that?
Thanks in advance,
Shane
Hey Shane - I've got to tell you from experience that it's basically hit and miss. Dunno if the administrator(s) are aware of any possible hiccups - but sometimes feed aggregators fail. (Facebook messed up with me for a long time when I set it to publish my RSS feed as Notes.) Check the feed on your end, and then just sit back and watch. Since a whopping 20 people are actually subscribed to this page's feed, and you've likely already got readers from your contributions on JapanSoc too, you probably won't see much of a bump in traffic. But that's cool. It's at least a step in a good direction. :-) Hope it works out for you! - Deas
PS - The feed numbers and popularity readings don't match math-wise all the time, anyway. Ha ha.
Thanks, I emailed the site owner a couple of times but he doesn't have time to help me solve this problem. I have also checked the validity of my feed and there are no problems....
It seems that every once in a while there is some coding in one of my posts that upsets the apple cart and it doesn't clear up until 10 posts later and then the feed is picked up again. Very strange.
Like you suggested I check every once in a while to see if me feed is coming through but otherwise I take it with a grain of salt. Thanks for your support!
