  I’m hoping wordpress reader will replace my google reader, but it won’t load a favourite site http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html

  It seems to be working, but it’s a new feed here (no one else has subscribed to it), so it will take some time for us to populate the feed in our Reader. It will appear shortly after their next post at the lastest.

  Nope. No APOD in my feed yet. Maybe tomorrow?

  Sorry about that!

  Try adding http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ too and let’s see what we get from either tomorrow.

  Okie doke. Done.

  When I added it, I didn’t get the “you are already following….” message, which I take might be a good sign.

  Yes, that feature works great. Also great — importing everything from google reader was stunningly easy.
  But the best part has been how responsive you’ve been. I’m really blown away.

  Ok, it looks like we’re having some trouble with the non-standard structure of their RSS feed. We’re looking into this.

  For now, I found this unofficial RSS feed which will probably work better: http://www.acme.com/jef/apod/rss.xml

  Also, if you’re a user of Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or Pinterest, you can follow Astronomy Picture of the Day at:

  And, I found this unofficial email subscription service: http://apodemail.appspot.com/
