  Feedburner isn’t seeing my feed. When I enter my feed (http://diynetwork.wordpress.com/feed/) in, It’s throwing me an error. Below is the error, verbatim:

  The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file.

  The feed URL you entered is:

  http://diynetwork.wordpress.com/feed/

  We could not find a valid feed at that address. Here are some possible reasons this might have happened:

  *

  Is the feed valid? Confirm its validity now.

  If you’re using Blogger, Feed Validator may call your feed “obsolete” and generate a bunch of errors. This is because Blogger is using an older feed standard (Atom 0.3) and isn’t a reason for concern. Learn more in the FeedBurner forums.

  If the feed is valid and FeedBurner still can’t handle it, let us know.

  You can also view this post on why feed validity matters from FeedBurner Forums.
  *

  Are you using the URL of the web page or the URL of the feed?

  FeedBurner is usually able to “auto-discover” your feed from a web page, but in this case we didn’t find any related feeds. You may want to enter the URL of the feed directly.
  *

  Is the URL is misspelled or a copy+paste action didn’t work?

  If that’s the case, please try again.

  Just answered my own question: I had a post, but it was private. WordPress didn’t create the feed! Doh!
