Would the missing title cause a problem?

line 3, column 11: title should not be blank

I do get stories to appear when I add the feed. However, there have been no news stories on the feed since June 15.

Strange that you get stories and I do not. Yeah, the newest story is two months old, but I would still expect to see it.

That would explain the [Untitled], but that’s just a warning, and it’s still a valid feed.

Yeah, I’m able to see the June story as well. Do you have Unread-only turned on for the site?

No. Proof:

Oh, Oldest-first only goes back 2 weeks. Think about it: when is the “oldest” story? It has to be an unread story, otherwise you wouldn’t be starting back in time, you’d be newest first and then go back in time explicitly. If the site has so few entries that there’s nothing 2 weeks back, then Newest first is clearly the order you want.
