From FeedBurner To Google: MyBrand And A 404 Error (Part 2)

Okay, so this is just to clear up the first post. At the time I had made that post, the solution I posted worked. Maybe it was just coincidence that Google changed something?
Anyways, here’s my CNAME record, as asked by Jack Lail:
feeds.eddieringle.com CNAME eringpwnsgmail.feedproxy.ghs.google.com
So, looks like you point to {email w/ domain}.feedproxy.ghs.google.com. Like, that particular email is ering.pwns [at] gmail [dot] com, so basically just remove the @ and any periods. (not sure if hyphens and the like are removed, as I don’t use hyphens in my email addresses)
Hope that clears things up.

Thanks! I hope mine fixes itself SOON! I have that style of CNAME set, but it goes 404.

I solved the problem by using a different cname.. instead of the email adress cnames I used ghs.google.com and now my 404 is gone..

It’s possible Google asks you to use the CNAME including your email because they love to track EVERYTHING. But, you know, just a guess.
