I have never really been able to make Feedburner work. I thought I
set it up about a year ago but I made an error when I put in the URL
in Blogger and it wasn't being directed properly although I didn't
realize it then. At that same time, I noticed that when I commented
on blogs that used Comment Luv an old post was displayed.

I finally sat down and tried to fix it last night and thought I'd
succeeded. Today I commented on a post that used Comment Luv and the
post it displayed wasn't mine! Worse, it seems to be some spammy
thing with about 25 or 30 posts with questionable links. Then, a
reader notified me that Google Reader was pulling up these same spammy
posts as part of my feed and that they all appear before my real
posts. However, all my posts from Nov 11 backwards now appear too.

How is this happening? How can I get rid of this junk? It doesn't
show up when I open my blog directly. How did it get attached to my
feed? Is it something I did wrong or something someone else did to me
or what?

I just posted on my blog again and refreshed Google Reader and I don't
see my new post, just all that junk that doesn't belong.

My blog is shevysmisclife.blogspot.com

The feed address is feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/yXIX

Just to add, the blog post I made yesterday still doesn't show up on
Google Reader at all. And the junk is still there in front of all my
posts up to Nov 11.

I have a similar problem - my feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/www.mamabrain.com
for my domain mamabrain is going to someone else's feed - (the feed
for this website www.Info-Sourcing.com). I contacted the website and
they emailed back and said "I'm not sure why its pointing to my feed,
can you please check with
feedburner support guys and see if they can resolve it." I thought I
deleted this feed at feedburner but the link is still working. Since
then I've got a new feed that works http://feeds.feedburner.com/mamabrain
but I still want the other one cancelled because their website should
not be linked to my domain name or my gmail account - we have nothing
to do with each other at all.

I'm hoping google will be able to fix my problem when they fix yours -
or at least explain to us what we're doing wrong... I couldn't find
any other way to report this problem to the google "support guys".
