  I have submitted my blogs feed to iTunes to upload a podcast. On iTunes it does not recognize my blogs title, and when I went back to look at my XML feed, it didn’t have my title either. All it had was <title/> when it should read <title>Ignorance Podcast<title/>. How can I edit my blogs feed, or get my blog to recognize its own title?
  Blog url: http://ignorancepodcast.wordpress.com/

  Howdy,

  Our feed isn’t optimized for use in iTunes — it’s intended to help people follow your posts in an RSS reader:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/feeds/

  You might want to check out Feedburner or another third-party feed service to see if they can help you package a feed that’ll work in iTunes.

  I understand, and I am using FeedBurner. The thing is FeedBurner takes the title straight from my blog, and even though on my blog itself there’s a title, in the XML there isn’t one.

  It could be where I just have to wait for it to update. Thanks for your reply.

  Your title is displayed correctly in your feed at http://ignorancepodcast.com/feed/ so the issue must be on Feedburner’s end.

  You’re right, it’s there now! I’ll continue to figure it out with Feedburner and iTunes. Thanks for your replies guys, I really appreciate it.
