One of the stranger confusions, seen occasionally inwards Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, refers to the posts feed, from our blog, displayed on other people's blogs.
When nosotros investigate, the weblog feed shows no problem. We display the feed inwards the browser, too compare alongside the weblog primary page - too everything on the primary page is inwards the feed. It exactly does non demo upwards on our friends feed gadgets.
So, what's the work here? Were nosotros imagining a problem? No, it's non imagination.

If nosotros reveal posts daily - but our friends entirely reveal weekly - we're going to run across our updates displayed weekly. That's non a work alongside our blogs, alongside our weblog feeds, or fifty-fifty alongside our friends blogs - it's exactly how cache affects us.
Complicating this confusion, nosotros convey the number of feed gadgets which won't display all feeds. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 gadget which has 10 feeds inwards the list, but is gear upwards to display entirely five feeds, volition display entirely the well-nigh lately updated five feeds. The other five feeds volition non display.
As unlike feeds are updated irregularly, they buy the farm the five feeds displayed. The other five feeds volition seem to disappear from the display.
And since other people's blogs comprise content provided past times other people - non exactly our blogs - what nosotros run across on other peoples blogs may non e'er include our updated content, or fifty-fifty our blogs at all.
We tin clear cache on our computers - too run across the modify on our computers.
To diagnose the problems, nosotros tin clear or refresh our cache, too run across if that makes our friends blogs "update to a greater extent than regularly" too / or "appear". This strategy is dependent area to limitations, though.
In closed to cases, nosotros may exactly convey to shrug our shoulders, too get to operate on our blogs. And wait, patiently, for our friends to operate on their blogs.
