    I've got a feed at:
    http://www.aspvphp.com/feed.xml

    The code looks like this:

    

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title>ASP v PHP</title>
        <description>Side by side code snippets of the two most widely used web programming languages.</description>
        <link>http://www.aspvphp.com/</link>

    Code (markup):
    I've let it sit for a day, and there's no link showing up on my posts... Just wondering if my RSS feed syntax is wrong of if DP just doesn't like it...

    Thanks...

    Only certain blogs are supported at this time. What blogger platform are you using?

    It's custom coded... Figured I followed the syntax of the big sites well enough; guess not...

    Well, it's not an online journal, but I'd consider it a blog, as I make posts that all fall under the same topic, while split into categories, and (in the future, depending on my level of free time) users will be able to comment on the submissions or suggest improvements...

    Eh... the blog feature is just for blogs. A repository of code doesn't really fall into the category of a blog imo.

    Maybe you should make it allow all RSS. That way people can see if I added anymore games to my website :)

    I had to create a separate script to make the Blog RSS feed work Blog RSS Feed (Valid). If you have a blog it might be worth creating a script that will create the proper RSS feed for Digital Point.

    Ok, you're the boss, I put my political blog in their instead... Don't want to argue with the powers-that-be...

    You're right, thanks for the link... My syntax was way off from the other blog posts that were working here :)
