    It could be a problem with your hosting even. Why don't you use the feedburner service for your blog?

    He does use it. And FeedBurner reports about 30,000 readers. I guess Feedburner plugin installed.
    Anyway, Feedburner doesn't replace site's own RSS feed. It just works on top of it.

    By the way, it could be some problem with plugins incorectly overriding the RSS functionality. Try disabling plugins one by one.

    Oops. May be I'm wrong about assumption that Feedburner is used. It turns out the counter is a static gif, not a valid Feedburner code.

    The http://www.newsaffiliate.com/wp-rss.php works but it displays only the feed title. Anyway, check plugins that may work with the rss feed.
