For some reason Safari keeps telling me I have some unread articles, usually 1, 2, or 3, and I click on it, but there are no new articles!

Is this just me, or is it a bug?

I haven't seen it, but haven't used RSS a whole lot.

Is it one site, several, or all of them?

No not just you. Safari RSS doesn't always update properly - it doesn't always pick up new feeds and doesn't always adjust for read feeds. Might change in 10.4.2

There's another thread on this from not long ago. Safari RSS is a great start and I'm hooked already -- I was able to switch about 80 pages from HTML to RSS feeds and I probably save 30 minutes/day because of it -- but there's a lot of room for improvement. (I hope some of those improvements come with 10.4.2, but that might be aggressive.)

BTW, if you find Safari RSS hasn't updated properly, clicking the Reload button usually does the trick for me.

As an aside to the Safari RSS discussion, anyone else notice that all Think Secret articles are re-stamped with the current date every time any new article is posted? This seems to be true with about 5% of my RSS sites; Detroit News is another offender.

Also, another popular rumor site run by an Irish lad is running an RSS widget contest, but his RSS feed does not work for me in Safari RSS. Always returns a "not found" error. Anyone else notice this?

I get that on the New York Times Home page. No new articles, but I go to View All RSS articles and get them. All other RSS feeds work just fine.

Yeah, I've run into this also. I've found that if I restart my browser, often it fixes the problem. Eek, restarts? That sounds like an MS solution. Hopefully 10.4.2 will address it.

10.4.2 should be out very soon and any RSS teething problems will hopefully be history

I hope Franz is right. I'm hooked on Safari RSS but there are some annoyances.

Aside from the ones I've detailed earlier, one of the most annoying for me -- and I can't tell if this is a Safari problem or a server-side problem -- is with Real Cities sites. Even though I have the "keep me logged in" option enabled, I get a new log-in page for every single Real Cities page I open. In a list of RSS articles, I might tab-open 20 Real Cities articles only to have to log-in on each one of them every day. Maddening.

(Real Cities hosts web sites for a ton of major newspapers:
