Google reader displaying code

For a few days now, Google Reader is displaying the html version of posts in some, but not all, blogs. As usual, Google's help function is worse than useless, in that you can neither report a problem such as this directly, nor get auto-help (search terms not recognised, as is par for the course), nor find out if other users are experiencing the same glitch via the Google Reader help group. (A Google help group is where lots of frustrated users scream at Google, each other and the universe, with the occasional helpful 12-year-old geek putting in an answer while Google itself remains resolutely silent.)

I do like Google, when it works. When it doesn't....

In the meantime, until this problem rights itself or I switch back to Bloglines, does anyone have any advice? I can find no pattern as to why certain blogs are displaying html codes and others aren't. It seems to be platform-independent.

Sorry to hear that Reader is giving you trouble. Can you point us to some specific blogs that you see this with? We've seen some problems like this with TypePad feeds, this discussion group thread has more information:

(it's a problem on their end that we can't do much to fix)

Thank you very much Mihai. I appreciate you commenting here -- I could not find any mention of this problem navigating GR help, using search terms or anywhere on Typepad. I have now reported the problem to them. I'll also see if I can face the recommended solution on the GR forum, which is to change atom feeds to rss feeds.
Thanks again for commenting, much appreciated.
