Well, don’t just sit there gawking. Anybody know how to fix the damn things?
Ok, I’ll help. First tell me – what is an RSS?
(spam word -maybe – as in maybe you shouldn’t listen to me.)
It’s the feed for syndicating the site. I think. Hell, I don’t know, either.
I thought your wife fixed these things for you?
She’s stumped.
I am having no problem reading your feed. In fact, I am commenting because I saw this post in my reader. Hmmm.
Anyway, the one I am using is: https://www.proteinwisdom.com/index.php/weblog/rss_atom/
Here’s what I get: from SharpReader: Error parsing RSS XML: Not a valid xml document: The XML declaration is unexpected. Line 2, position 3.
from feedvalidator.org:
Sorry
This feed does not validate.
Feeds should not be served with the “text/html” media type [help]
Your feed appears to be encoded as “utf-8”, but your server is reporting “US-ASCII” [help]
line 2, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:2:0: xml declaration not at start of external entity [help]
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
After looking at the feedvalidator.org output a little more it looks like you may have illegal line breaks in the line that starts as:
<feed version=”0.3″
It actually shows this as line 3 with each following element as it’s own line so that one declaration ends up looking like 4 lines.
Since I know diddly about xml and rss feeds maybe this is allowable use of whitespace, but it’s the only other suspect bit I’ve seen.
Trying to get hold of my son – I’ll have him look.
It works! It works!
Thanks for your perseverance.
Thank my wife. The problem was with the software, so she got a developer for Expression Engine to look at it.
Kick it a couple of times, what the hell…
Yahoo! All better now!
