ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH

Feedburner has got to be the most ridiculously ambiguous service ever. I have been trying to for two months to get the freakin thing to work. I have followed all directions to "burn" my feed and redirect my existing feeds to it, and NOTHING has worked. I have a feedburner feed that says it hasn't been updated in a month, and no redirected is working. Also, if I subscribe directly to the feedburner feed, I don't see any of those "email this | add to delicious" links at the bottom, even though I added them and activated them in feedburner. Of course I probably don't see them because it says my feed hasn't been updated in a month. And Blogger and Feedburner both say redirecting is a piece of cake, but I don't have "the option" that they say is the magical answer in my control panel ... I think because I publish to my own domain. Anyone have any help for me? I am a computer geek, I can't imagine how non-techies do this.

UPDATE: Ok, one problem solved. For some reason when I first created my feedburner feed it got messed up, and when I recreated it it was using the same name, but continued to be messed up, thus none of the changes I was making were getting added to the feed. That is now solved, I just renamed my feedburner feed. But now, when I try to subscribe, it only shows the bad feedburner name and not the new good healthy one. And second problem is the redirect, still not working.
