After much prolonged agony, I got my rss feed to work with google reader.  How’d I do that, you ask?  I set up a cron job to download the rss feed every hour into an xml file.  For some reason Google can understand how to read that file, even though it’s an exact copy of the one it can’t read.  Go figure!

To the less technical members of my audience — if you didn’t understand what the above meant I’ll translate it for you:  “blah blah blah”.  Public service is my game!
