Using Feedflare service from feedburner on Serependity

judebert - No i am directly posting them without going the draft way.

I am not sure, what you meant by - working though the database directly?

Thanks

Since the FeedBurner folks said the problem was that you feed was empty, I was wondering how you filled it up. Normally, to ping a blog service with an old entry, you can switch it to Draft and then back to Publish. Since you mentioned you had more than 2,500 entries, I figured that would be too difficult, and you would manipulate the entries with a script or something.

How did you fill up your feed?

Judebert...

Actually... i did not get those options for all the 2500+ posts. But only for that day's posts i got the feedflare options. So... not really successful though. i did not do anything to fill the feed. It looks to me like filling the feed takes a few seconds more after posting it.

Thanks for any help... to get those options for all the older posts also.

Cheers

I don't know enough about how FeedBurner works, I'm afraid. It's possible they want the post to show up in your feed itself; in that case, we'd want to set the number of posts for feeds to a very large number, at least until FeedBurner read them. Could cause problems for other feed users, though.

It's also possible that it expects a ping. I'd try changing one old post to Draft, then back to Publish. If it shows up in FeedBurner, you just need to do that 2500 more times.
