RSS Missing in Action.

Ok, so it seems the guys in Blogger (Google) have changed the URL for the RSS and didn't warn anybody.

From what i've discovered while looking for similar problems, it seems that only the Blogs that have upgraded to Blogger beta were affected.

In my case, this was the situation :

My RSS was : XXXXX.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

And now,

My RSS is: XXXXX.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

This problem also affected with other formats ,

Atom was XXXXX.blogspot.com/atom.xml

And now,

Atom is: XXXXX.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/full

So what does this mean ? It means you could have lost some ( If not all ) your RSS subscribers.

This is a very bad move from the people in Blogspot, they could have just given backward compatibility ( eg. with the new URL, provide the features of the old URL )

For me this is a very bad move, and affected almost 80% of the Blogs i have in http://outsi.de.com ( a blog aggregator ), so if you experienced some extra time during the last days, it could have been from the Lack of RSS posts in Google Reader or within your RSS Engine.

... and now, i'm gonna perform some cleaning in my Google Reader which in the last days started to warn me about some Feeds not beeing OK, and now it all makes sense.
