RSS feed content not recognised by Google Reader
I am trying to set up an RSS feed for the blog section of one of my clients websites running 4.5.4 on one of the new TextDrive servers (trutch). For reference, this is the site in question.
However, the RSS file created by Textpattern is seen as empty by Google Reader or NetNewsWire. Strangely, if I use the validate this feed contextual menu item in NetNewsWire (which sends the feed to http://feedvalidator.org/) the feed is shown as valid and I can see the full contents of it.
If I download the RSS file, rather than just click on the link, and view it using a text editor, it looks OK and includes the latest 5 articles from the blog section as expected.
Similarly, clicking on the link in Firefox displays the content as expected and FireBug seems to indicate that everything is OK.
So any ideas why Google Reader and NetNewsWire both show the feed as empty when it’s not?
Is it down to how the new TextDrive server is serving the feed? Any ideas on how I can check this?
Anyone else come across any similar problems?

In my NetNewsWire it isn’t empty. It works.

What version are you using?
I’ve got 3.3.2 and it’s blank in there.
Does it work for you in Google Reader?

And now it’s working for me, too, so that’s good, if a little strange…
