 * I recreated my website to a new remote host and RSS stopped working. When I try
   to add the feed to any aggregator I get “cannot connect to” error message – including
   MyYahoo and Bloglines. Yet, when I am logged in the website, I can open the feed
   in the browser as pure XML. When I log off from the site it often gives me “file
   not found” error messages. Any suggestions how can I resolve this serious problem?
   Without RSS… the world’s not right.

 * When you moved your site, did you follow the proper procedures? [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/move/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/move/)

 * Sorry for bothering you all. I found the problem – my host prohibits remote access
   to non-index files to prevent from hackers. I had to move rss2 and commentrss2
   files into subdirs, change connection to blog-header.php, make them index.php,
   edit all old occurances in the template… now it works. Sloppy, but works.
