 * I am getting feed errors “WP HTTP Error: Couldn’t resolve host” on URLs I can
   access directly in the browser.
 * Example
 *     ```
       Updating Bionic Teaching » ds106 from http://bionicteaching.com/feed=rss2&cat=238
       Feed error: WP HTTP Error: Couldn't resolve host 'bionicteaching.com'
       ```
   
 * Yet the URL works fine
    [http://bionicteaching.com/?feed=rss2&cat=238](http://bionicteaching.com/?feed=rss2&cat=238)
 * Wow, it would be nice if the developer tuned in here….
