These feeds can fussy: looks like you triggered many updates. Feedly
currently greets me with 569 new posts (!!) in that channel.

Easy enough to mark as all read -- first off thanks for updating the service!

Now 745 -- and the bigger issue seems to be that the 'posted at'
timestamp is
wrong and 'current' so all the old posts are now seen as
'fresh'. Hence the
flood ... of unsorted post.

blosxom, simple as it is, takes (IIRC) filesystem ctime as the posting
timestamp so would be best if you had a backup with the old timestamps.
