Sorry about the troubles you've been having with the iTunes store and your feed.

For folks using iTunes, here's how you can resubscribe to the feed:

In iTunes, click on the Advanced menu and go to Subscribe to Podcast.

Paste the following into the text field: feed://hppodcraft.com/?feed=podcast

Click OK.

Enjoy!

Thanks John! I'm sticky-ing this. Hopefully the feed will be re-submitted and working before long; I worked out the problem in the code/

Done that now and it seems to be working.  I'm now re-downloading episodes 34-39.  They seem to be the only ones there at the moment.  Is this right?  Will the other past episodes be made available again?

To avoid confusion, I deleted all previous versions of the podcast before following the instructions above.

Yep, the other episodes should pop up in a day or so. iTunes doesn't check for udpates in 'real time'; it occasionally pings the site. I added all the other episodes earlier today, so they aren't popping up yet.

UPDATE: Whoa! Looks like I spoke too soon - all the old episodes just updated and flooded the feed! Ha!

So, should all the previous episodes be there now - or should I wait a couple of days?  If I go to 'Update Podcast' nothing happens.  Same if I go to 'Show all available episodes'.

There now seems to be three versions of the podcast on iTunes (UK), each one with a different number of episodes on.  Are any of these versions the same as the one I got by following the instructions above?

I'm confused.  Sorry to be a continuing annoyance.

Actually - I'm sorry I didn't notice this originally - but the link provided above is to the blog's RSS feed, not the iTunes RSS feed. The iTunes RSS feed should be http://www.hppodcraft.com/?feed=podcast

Went to the link and clicked 'Subscribe to iTunes' from the bar on the right.  All seems fine except that Episodes 1 and 2 appear to be missing.

Perhaps I'll just wait until it's all sorted and then resubscribe, rather than keep pestering you guys online.   Embarrassed

Nah, that's the right one, Bulbatron! 1 and 2 should pop up eventually. The RSS feed is just catching up. This morning it was only showing 30-39, then an hour later it was 21-39, and now it's 3-39. It'll get there.  Grin

Oh, OK then, Manndroid.  Thanks for the reassurance.  I'll resubscribe now then.  Thanks!

Episode 2 still appears to be AWOL, but otherwise, everything seems fine now.  I figured you'd want reviews again for the new version, so I've left a review and a rating.  Hope it helps.
