Is it something on my end? I have a valid user id and password for the site.

Probably the site has changed, if you PM me your account details, I'll have a look.

Also noting an error on HBR blogs with a much simpler error message:

Failed feed: Blog
invalid literal for int() with base 10: '8212a'

This is my first use of schedule news downloads, so I hope it's not just a newbie error.

Thanks.

Hi,

I've also gotten this error. It's a formatting problem with the HBR website which was recently rebuilt. I've already submitted the problem to HBR and they should have the problem corrected within a couple of days.

[addressee]

This has been working again - HBR blogs - since at least the 17th of June. -- Thanks!

Has anyone had any luck with this HBR feed working again? I am still getting the error that others have gotten. Thanks.
