We've changed our RSS setup here at Pocket PC Thoughts, and I wanted to give everyone a heads up so they can let us know if they run into any problems. Historically, our RSS feed has been located at <i><a href="www.pocketpcthoughts.com/xml/index.php">www.pocketpcthoughts.com/xml/index.php</a></i>. We've now put a redirect on that file that will automatically push your RSS reader to <i><a href="http://feeds.pocketpcthoughts.com/pocketpcthoughts">http://feeds.pocketpcthoughts.com/pocketpcthoughts</a></i> and that in turn redirects to our Feedburner feed. Why Feedburner? It gives us a lot of really useful tools related to RSS content - the ability to track the number of people subscribing to the feed, track which items get clicked on, etc. It also make it really easy for people to subscribe to the RSS feed from a variety of clients. If your already a subscriber to the Pocket PC Thoughts RSS feed, everything should work exactly like it did before - if it's not, please post a comment and let me know what's not working.

Hmm. Well, I can't control what happens when people use our feed in different ways, but thanks for the heads up. I went to that site though, and after clicking around a bit I can't seem to find any way of contacting them to alert them to a problem. Can you tell them they have something to fix?
