Sites with multiple feed options confuse Feedbin #257

Trying to add this, the screen gets confused and says "this has multiple feeds" but doesn't give any titles for them. Clicking any combination of the two checkboxes doesn't show anything, and winds up popping up in an infinite loop of the same thing until I hit cancel. The site is a standard wordpress blog, but defines a site-wide RSS feed as well as a category specific one, and somehow it confuses Feedbin.

The problem with http://thedirty.com/category/portland/feed/ is not that there are multiple feeds, it’s that the feed is invalid. It suffers from the same problem as raised in issue #129.

I am not sure why an invalid feed is making Feedbin show the feed picker. Maybe it is trying to get around the problem in some way. It is not a standard WordPress blog though, that’s for sure, as standard blogs do not have invalid feeds.
