Today I launched my new website with new design and with a new favicon. I used the same URL for my RSS feed in order to keep my subscribers.
But Google Reader retains the old favicon. How can I force it to update it?

I have a WordPress blog with its rss feed linked to a news aggregator app. Each time someone clicks on my post on the app, it opens in reader mode.
How do I stop my rss feed on the app from opening in reader mode?
I will prefer that the link opens the original content on my blog.
I use FeedDemon and I noticed that some Tumblr RSS feeds had stopped working recently. I thought it was random but I found out that all of the feeds that stopped working were for NSFW blogs.
It seems as though Tumblr's default safe mode filter is preventing RSS feeds from working for NSFW blogs. An example of how trying to access one of these feeds can be found here, it appears as though the html for the 'safe mode' page is accessed instead of the RSS itself. Is there any way to make it so that these feeds can be accessed from a program such as FeedDemon?
UPDATE: it appears as though tumblr has changed their policy, as NSFW blog RSS feeds can now be accessed by my RSS reader without any modification done by myself.
It appears that Tumblr has made an exception for Feedburner ― all Tumblr RSS feeds can be retrieved by Feedburner, and from there they can be read by any aggregator.
The basic steps:
Log in to / create account for Feedburner
Get the url of the RSS feed for the blog in question (e.g., https://staff.tumblr.com/rss)
Enter that url in the field under "Burn a feed right this instant"
Review the presented options, then hit Next »
Add the displayed Feedburner url to your feed reader
Late answer but I had the same problem. Feeddemon uses your internet browser you've set up in the options to check feeds - In my case Internet Explorer. All you need to do is log in to tumblr using that browser and your feed will be able to access the nsfw rss feed.
I have a site that I have set up a lot of Applets for in IFTTT. Now I have changed the domain for my site, and don't see how I can easily change the RSS-feed link (to the new domain) in IFTTT.
If I go to https://ifttt.com/feed and then click on Settings, I can disconnect the RSS feed. But I don't want to do that, just change the URL to the feed.
I have searched Google and SO, but not found the answer.
How can I change the RSS feed link for my IFTTT?
I have a published .ics file that my users can add to their google calendar via a url. The trouble is that google seems to be caching the feed and new events aren't showing up. The only solution I've come up with is to manually remove the calendar and re-add it with a slightly different url by adding ?nocache=asdfasdfsdf to the end. Is there something in the ics spec that would solve this problem that doesn't require intervention by users?
For some reason Google Analytics is appending index.cfm to the end of all of my URLs when I look at them in GA. The domain used to be ColdFusion based, but is now a WordPress PHP website running on an Apache server without ColdFusion installed.
We've added new pages to the website, and GA is still reporting an index.cfm at the end of the URL, even though that page never existed on the old ColdFusion site.
I didn't set up the GA account initially, is there maybe a setting that was enabled? Or does it take GA a while to figure out it's not a ColdFusion website anymore?
By the way, the website in question is http://www.westgatereservations.com. Thanks.

Screenshot of page list from Google Analytics. All of these pages are WordPress PHP pages that use a clean permalink URL structure.
This is Google Analytics's 'Default Page' feature. If you go to the Account Settings and Edit the Profile Information, you'll see there's a field called "Default Page". It basically does what the theoretical filter I described above does: it automatically appends the default page (in this case, index.cfm) onto every page URL that doesn't have a page suffix. It's a shortcut, since most of the time, users want /foo and /foo/index.html to be counted as the same thing. But it totally breaks on WordPress and 'prettified' URLs, since they don't have a file suffix.
Just remove the Default Page (leave it blank) and the problem should be resolved. I'm not sure if it will be retroactive (Google Analytics rarely allows retroactive changes), but it will resolve the problem moving forward.
