RSS? How do I get it to work?
I click the link, go to Google reader; but the feed is blank.
I’m hoping it will work soon

Inappropriate?Howdy,
The RSS feed of all Sandy's remembering for you is password protected to keep your stuff safe.
Unfortunately while many desktop RSS readers support authentication using username and password (NetNewsWire or FeedDemon, for instance), Google Reader does not. So what's happening is that Google Reader is visiting the URL you're providing and is not able to log in as you to get to the personal details that Sandy is storing for you.
So I'm afraid all I can recommend is using an RSS reader like NetNewsWire or FeedDaemon or the one baked into your browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, and Firefox all either read RSS feeds natively and use the fact that you've already logged into iwantsandy.com as their authentication method or have plug-ins/extensions that'll do just that).
Aside: It'd probably be a good idea for us to at least note that in the response to an unauthenticated request for an RSS feed, though.

Inappropriate?Hey,
In order to get Sandy or any protected RSS feed on Google Reader, you will need to use http://freemyfeed.com/
It will give you a new feed that has been authenticated.
