I’m not sure, but I think it might be that Simplaris Blogcast doesn’t like the ‘ugly’ permalink structure which includes the question mark.

I used to use the Simplaris app. but have my WordPress permalinks set to date and name based ‘pretty’ permalinks so the RSS feed is just http://www.domainname/feed
Not sure how you’d test my theory, but you could ask for support at the Facebook page for the app.
After changing the permalinks I still received the same message then on checking my stats I saw a list of different feed urls and the one for comments worked so it appears the general feed isn’t being recognised but the variant is?
RSS2 url: http://www.williamwilsonphotography.co.uk/feed/ is being rejected
COMMENT RSS2 url: http://www.williamwilsonphotography.co.uk/comments/feed/ works
Hmm.. I’ve just run several W3C feed validation checks on your main RSS2 feed url at
http://validator.w3.org/feed/
and each time it failed to validate because it timed-out waiting for a response from your server.
The comments feed however, loads very quickly and validates using that on-line tool with no problems.
If you go to your main feed via a browser, you can see for yourself that it takes a relatively long time to appear in the browser window. I’m not sure what’s causing the delay though, sorry.
I did notice it was taking a while to load, I’ll drop a note to my host to see if there’s a problem, thanks for helping out it’s frustrating when something so simple just refuses to work.
Finally resolved this issue it was a WordPress plugin that was causing a time out on the feed, deactivating the culprit solved the problem.
I am having a lot of trouble getting my blog to import into our Facebook page. The rss feed I am using is http://www.whitfordinsurance.com/category/insurance/feed/ which I am putting into the “notes” section in our Facebook page. Sometimes this has worked, and sometimes it fails. Any ideas?
Thanks
