I'm trying to parse this problem, can you please provide more
canonical details. For each blog, can you please identify the actual
blogs URL, and the actual feed URL? Can you do the same for a couple
blogs that are NOT showing the problem?
The more cases, with details, we can provide to Blogger, the quicker
they will listen, and fix.
Same at scrink.com the entire front page is busted, every blog I've
added new content to has a broken feed. The only things actively
showing are blogs from which the feed was updated yesterday, those
remain in tact.
As a temporary fix I am running a perl script on my server which will
connect to the blogger address above and write its contents to my
atom.xml file - it works and is the only reason my atom.xml link above
appears to work.
Additional information:
- My blog is published via FTP to an external server
- The feed is only published to Blogger - there is no redirect to
Feedburner etc
- First observed the problem today at approx 14:00 GMT
- Last time the feeds worked correctly were yesterday (12 March 2009)
- I have checked my server and there are no unexpected atom.xml or
rss.xml files
As I said I am currently using a workaround with perl to read the xml
feed from blogger and write it to my atom.xml file mentioned above,
and this is keeping my website live, but I would appreciate if this
problem could be sorted as soon as possible.
Got the same thing. No need to publish my URL, I'm thinking this is
one centralized server or hub that has been taken offline
(purposefully or accidentally) that coincided with the recent
maintenance, and has, as a result, disrupted many users all around.
But, Google can't seemed to be bothered with helping us out quite yet.
My feed is not longer working either. It's empty still and I've
attempted putting the . in front of the path as recommended and it
still doesn't work. My blog address is www.hitchedmag.com/blog.php the non-working feed is www.hitchedmag.com/atom.xml.
My problems started the same time as it was first reported here.
Please help.
This is happening again. I believe it started yesterday (March
27th).
How do we find our blogger.com site feed URL/path? It seems like
using that path to atom.xml works, so I'm hoping to just change my
script to use that URL instead of the atom.xml that gets saved to my
ftp site.

Tried the "./" for site path and it DID NOT work. atom.xml and rss.xml
are still 0kb. It appears that this problem has been going on since at
least mid March. I encountered it yesterday afternoon (3/27/09). Where
is tech support? Why are they not monitoring these threads? This is a
critical issue that has brought blogs down. I will try to email Google
tech support. I did get good service from them on a Google Analytics
problem, so I'm email that contact, so there is no easy way to even
email support about these issues.
