Oops sorry bout that. Chalk it up to me having the flu and not paying attention. Nope; it doesn't work. I tried: blog.captivereefing.com/wp-rss2.php captivereefing.com/blog/wp-rss2.php www.blog.captivereefing.com/wp-rss2.php Have you made any other tweaks/ addons to the blog that you forgot about? It should work.
Surprisingly no, i haven't touched it, actually just installed it Sunday, actually hosing company did (well, they call it that, they untarred the files into a directory and shot me a link to the install.php). Maybe I'd better grab a clean tarball and set it up somewhere else for myself, they might have goofed with it. Other aggregators (sp) are parsing it just fine.... it's definately odd since it sure looks right.
I just went thrum moving my blog out of the root directory. What a nightmare... I would definitely try a new install.
I'm not using Wordpress but I copied the RSS feed layout from it for my custom blog which spits out an updated feed every hour on the hour. Any reason why it isn't working? My profile points to the correct URL and unless you're checking the generator comment I don't see how the system can tell the difference between a Wordpress one and another feed with the same format.
it could be that it's checking an atom feed or a different version of an RSS feed. Compare your RSS to an actual wordpress one and see if there are any differences. I don't think Shawn wants to get into supporting 40 different blog programs, but with a little work you might be able to figure out what you need to do. That is, unless it's actually checking to see if it's wordpress/moveable type/blogger.
I thought it only used Atom for Blogger and RSS for the rest? Anyway, I've compared my RSS to an actual Wordpress one and there are no differences other than the generator tag (as I've already said, I used a Wordpress feed to figure out the structure because I didn't want to read the whole RSS spec just to repeat what someone has already done). The whole idea of RSS is that it's (more or less) independent of what blogging system you're using - otherwise how do you expect programs like Firefox and Thunderbird to parse the feeds? It shouldn't make any difference what blogging tool you're using.
Finally got it figured out... after goofing with it for quite a while, new tarballs, new installs, different feed types and all that.... not sure why it wouldn't work right if the feed was at the root directory of the domain, but moved it to a subdirectory of the domain and it works fine Thanks for the help.... now I'm off to find something else to break.
hah.... that'd be as exciting as anything else I type into the silly thing.... it was more like something to do cause I hadn't yet. Now if I can weasel the code from Shawn.... then I'd have something to brag about.
Its funny when I started my blog I thought what the hell am I going to write about, now I find I'm writing about all and sundry and I have no idea why.
The better half found out last night that her sister has been 'secretly keeping a blog behind her back' or something like that.... So I had to set one up for her now too....
You may have shot your self in the foot there. I can support calls coming at you from very close range.
And this would be different from say yesterday how? LOL I'm on 24x7 support for the entire family, and work too....
i still can't get mine to work for some reason... my structure seems to be about the same as others. i have tried rss 1.0 and 2.0. here are the links to them: http://www.dchoe.com/index.xml http://www.dchoe.com/index.rdf thanks
The index.rdf doesn't seem to return anything at all.... but the index.xml looks closer, are you able to hack the way the the feed is generated? Maybe tweak it a little more to closely resemble the WP feed? Not that that will garuntee a fix.... another thing might be as simple as my issue, try moving the feed to a subdirectory and see if it works, not that I have any clue why that helped, but the script was then able to parse it properly...
got it work... finally thanks for the help. it wasn't a subdirectory issue, but for some reason, the parser was looking for <dc:date> rather than <pubDate>
Strange. I'm changing my blog entry from wordpress to moveable type. At first I tried http://www.bkweddings.com/index.xml <- my rss 2.0 feed. It didn't show anything right away, and I had previously updated that feed to have an image element, so I figured that's why it didn't work. Then I tried http://www.bkweddings.com/index.rdf <- my rss 1.0 feed. It works, but it just links to my home page with the blog title. XML seems valid. Looks fine to me. Then I tried http://www.bkweddings.com/atom.xml <- my atom feed. No workie. So then I created a new feed: http://www.bkweddings.com/index2.rdf - using the out of the box rss 2.0 template updated to only show 2 entries (save us both 1k of bandwidth a month). No workie. So then I updated it to show 15 entries just like it is out of the box... and no workie. Wow. This is a tough one So... My question is: For Movable Type Blogs, which feed should I be pointing to (rss 1.0, rss 2.0, or atom), and does the filename make a difference?
The 1.0 feed (the one that worked) is the right one. It's supposed to go to your blog, not the individual post page.
