FeedBurner’s FeedFlare Error
For fun I’m trying out FeedBurner‘s FeedFlare feature on this site but until I did some trouble-shooting it wouldn’t work with WordPress. Turns out the charset="utf-8" attribute in the FeedFlare script was causing it to fail. Deleting it from the script tag makes it all work fine and dandy, as you can see from the “Email This” and “Digg This” links down at the bottom of each post.
Update: Or not. Seems they’ve disappeared again. Seems the javascript is either not being loaded or not being executed. Hmm….
Update, the second: The error is mine, not FeedBurner’s. The links were not showing up only in Safari – they worked fine in Firefox. After a night’s sleep I woke up this morning, remembered that I run PithHelmet in Safari, turned that off and voila! FeedFlare links! It seems PithHelmet blocks Javascripts linking to external sites, treating those as probable ad-loading scripts; I’ve been using PithHelmet for so long I’d practically forgotten it wasn’t part of Safari itself. Mea culpa.
