Apologies to people who found their feed readers suddenly full of old posts today.
To be honest I’m not entirely sure what happened there, but I’ve stopped fiddling with things in the Settings menu for now, so fingers crossed that’s all the blips!

I hate to add to a possibly… worse situation, but I discovered that the default feed on your site might be to your COMMENTS feed not the POSTS feed. The links on the sidebar work fine. Maybe it’s a problem on my end (I have a subscribe in google reader button on my browser).
You may well be right, Firefox just shows me a dropdown list so I wasn’t aware there was such a thing as a “default” feed. But the comments feed is top of the list, which might be what’s being picked up as the primary, so I’ll see what I can do about moving them around.
Thanks a lot for the heads-up, I do appreciate it.
OK, I’ve reordered the feeds (it was as simple as swapping them over in the theme’s header, /facepalm) which should sort that out.
I’ve tested it with the Subscribe bookmarklet thing that you can get from Google Reader and it does now pick up the correct feed, as opposed to the comments feed.
I’m slighly confused about the feeds, because when I set up the redirection on WordPress the domain and blog redirect seamlessly, but the old feed URL still shows the old feed. I would have preferred not to have to get people updating links at all.
Anyway, I’ll just hope that’s the worst of the problems. I might hold off on fiddling with anything else for a while now!
