[Phpwm] RSS Feeds

[pete graham]

Phew, an answer, I was beginning to worry that someone had deleted the internet!

I'm thinking that google reader only finds the feed from the url if
the site has been spidered by the googlebot. The site I was testing is
still at its dev url (its not live yet) so wont be in the search
engine.
