Using the XML feed here on DP

So I just started up my blog (wordpress) and I'm trying to figure out how to have the articles appear by my name like other DP members. I put in the RSS feed (it was labeled XML, heck if I know) from the file wp-rss.php into the section of the DP user CP where I was supposed to, but nothing is appearing by my name (my most recent blog entry isn't there). Did I go wrong somewhere? Or does it just take time to show up? Thanks for any help

 

Takes 20 minutes at least. Patience...

PS just checked out you weren't really killing goldfish... And guess what, I've got that LED buckle! Got it on my birthday and yes, it lands you loads of respect. More so than killing goldfish.

 

Haha, so someone does actually buy those...

Hmm...hours later and still no XML feed somethings wrong.

VICTORY! Haha. As I'm sure you can see, I got it. Thanks for your help

By the way, I'm Pat..despite lurking on your forums I don't think I've had the chance to say hi, and to thank you for the boards. I appreciate the help on this one. Good to finally meet you.

 

And wow. For those of you who don't realize, that blog link is like gold if you have webmaster related content you are blogging about. Just got a ton of traffic from the DP members And all I was after was a google index...silly me.

 

Is there any minimum number of post before my feeds will appear? I also tried my feeds elsewhere and it works fine.

 

I am using this feed.

http://www.cagape.com/blogs/feed/

It works on other sites.

 

OK, what if I conform to the format of one of them is that acceptable?

If no, may I know how my blogger blog can be entered?

 

Nobody likes your blog(s)..
Everybody likes mine.

 

Many thanks digitalpoint!

 

I'm having trouble adding my feed, my URL is http://www.outblogger.com/humor.rss. As far as I can tell it mimicks one or more of the feed listed.

Any idea?

Code (markup):

That's the link and the output. It seems to be consistent with other blog feeds for software listed. Any ideas why its not working. I see the retriever hitting the server periodically.

Thanks!

Shawn:

The naming schema and hierarchy are the same as WordPress and Movable type. It omits some fields such as PubDate, etc. Is it possible for you to tell me what field(s) DP is dependant upon that I'm missing or do I have to mimick item for item one of the above feeds.

Worse case, I can rewrite my XML engine to mimick it field by field to WordPress but I was hoping you could point me in the right direction so I could get a quick fix prior to doing that.

In theory, if you are parsing for a WordPress feed and you are just pulling for the title, description, link the feed I'm sending should be recognized within a WordPress feed reader...???

Thanks!
