Richard Jones' Log: Reinstated RSS feeds

Mon, 03 Nov 2003

I've coded up an RSS feed for this weblog now, and it's available at the top level (https://mechanicalcat.net/richard/log/rss) or on a per-category basis (see the sidebar links).

Now to fix the archive pages ... :)

SharpReader doesn't like it, and neither does the Feed Validator: http://feedvalidator.org/check?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmechanicalcat.net%2Frichard%2Flog%2Frss I'd guess it's unhappy about the whitespace before the <?xml ...?> declaration. There's also a few unreplaced tal:content attributes in the channel <title/>, <link/>, <description/> tags, although I suspect most aggregators will happily ignore them...

Yeek -- look what it's done to my comment! Time for a judicious wrap=hard?

Yeah, I need to fix the comment formatting :) Hurm. And maybe learn some more about RSS feed validation ;)

All better now. And I've made comment formatting a little nicer too :)


See, I can have newlines :)
