Problems with Netfirms and Blogger

I doubt this entry will post because on my main blog I have been having persistent problems where the postings don't manage to make it from blogger to netfirms. The error I get is "broken pipe". There is no support from the Blogger folks except for a cryptic set of instructions to bother my ISP. The Netfirms sent me the help item for it when I asked them to look into it so I have just been going around in circles. Since it broke recently I am wondering if the problem is the size of the index or the XML feed. Maybe I need to trim some entries?
