*update* My new feeds are showing up! Looks like the issue has been fixed. I'm happy.
I'm a loyal user of Yahoo! services, and probably always will be, but lately I'm not too happy with them.
Last night, I added a few blogs to my blog links on this site. They're the links with *new* at the end. I use My Yahoo! as an RSS reader, and have a page just for blog feeds. I added the feeds for each new blog to that page, but the feeds are not showing up! They DO show up on the "change layout" page, but they never show up on the actual My Yahoo! page. I've tried reloading the page, I've tried logging in and out. I've even tried deleting the feeds and adding them again. Nothing is working!
This is the second time or so in the past week that I've had to contact Yahoo!'s help because of a bug in their system. Is it too much to ask that their services work as advertised? Hopefully they'll get things fixed pretty soon. Not that I can't just go to the blogs using my own blog, but I like to do everything from one page.

I never understood feeds. I don't know anything about them. All I have is the XML feed/link provided through Blogspot...
Is it necessary or beneficial to set up something through Feedburner too?
Dawn - feeds are a way of getting the latest posts from a blog delivered to one page (or program) so that you know when the blog updates. You can set it up through my.yahoo.com, www.bloglines.com, or you can use another program.
Blogger uses an Atom feed (Atom and RSS are the two formats for feeds), but not RSS. Feedburner uses both formats, works in any feed program, and brings you stats on how many people are viewing and subscribing to your blog.
I hope that helps you understand it a bit.
russ - hmmm, that does help....I think I'll be setting up a Feedburner feed ASAP. :) thanks!
