Does the RSS feed HAVE to come from blogspot or somewhere like that?

    I have a feed at my site at http://music-nerds.com/song-rss.php but I can't get it to work on the DP forum. The feed validates fine, and people are using it. Is there something I'm missing about integrating it into my DP posts?

    shouldn't it be XML?

    I just tried to add my Drupal XML feed and it's not working, so, I can only assume when it lists those type of blogs, they mean it.

    It's php that outputs an xml feed. It works in Safari, Opera, Firefox and IE so I think the feed is ok.

    I wonder if it's just a limitation of the forum code, like you said? That seems weird though, it's easy as anything to grab the latest title from an xml feed.

    Oh well.

    Where do you see it says it needs to be an RSS feed? It needs to be a blog.

    How does DP know where the RSS feed comes from, blog or otherwise? A feed is a feed, no? I was hoping it was a simple script that got the title and URL from the most recent item, but it seems to not recognize my feed.

    What is the correct format for Blogger type blogs?

    Should it be http://blogname.blogspot.com/rss.xml ??

    Or something else?
    I can't seem to get it to work. I tried the above and it just directs me to log into feedburner.

    Col :)
