    I publish my Google Reader shared items using FeedBurner. As well as properly sanitizing the code, you can control the appearance and formatting via both the FeedBurner control panel and CSS.

    Sorry to hear that the shared items are giving you trouble. There shouldn't be any popup ads, and we'd like to fix this bug if possible. I have tried to reproduce this by adding your shared items to a test page:

    However, I am not seeing any pop ups, either in Firefox or Safari (with the blocker turned off). Can you perhaps create a test page with this problem?

    I've added the shared items to the sidebar again and they're back. Can you please let me know if it's useful to you? I don't mind having the pop-up there for troubleshooting, but I'd rather not leave it when it's not necessary.

    The fix for this should be live now.

    It must be amazing when you complain about an application bug in your blog and the dev team answer you replying your post o_O


    I hope your problem is solved now :)

    Hi Stephanie, I am glad that you were able to track it down and Google fixed it so quickly. Keep on pressing words ;-)

    Google Reader isn't perfect yet, but it's already the best online feed reader. Amazing really, when you think how bad the first version was. It's nearly enough to make me give up my beloved FeedDemon!


    Thanks for the link to BlogSmart on your del.icio.us page, Stephanie. I've subscribed to your feed as you seem to have some really interesting posts on here. Sadly, monoglot as I am, I'll only be able to read the English ones!


    I'd like to expand BlogSmart to feature posts by people other than me. If ever you'd like to contribute anything, drop me an email. It would be great to here from you.

    Gah!! Just noticed my shameful mis-spelling of 'hear' in my last comment.


    Note to self: Must read comments through before posting them...
