Syndicate this BLOG errors

I am using BlogExpress Reader to syndicate my own blog (for testing). I could not get any feed (RSS 1, 2, ATOM) to work properly. :-(
My ATOM is broken (still cannot find the SEMICOLON they complained about) and my RSS 2 showed "No Description" when syndicated, and RSS 1 said it was not a RSS/XML feed.

Can some one take a look my blog and help me solve the mystery?

Thanks so much.

Your RSS1 and RSS2 feed (http://www.csloh.com/blog/rss.php?version=1.0 and http://www.csloh.com/blog/rss.php?version=2.0) work perfectly here.

The feedvalidator validates it also properly: http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi? ... sion%3D2.0 (ignore the onmouse over complaint, that one doesn'T do anything bad)

Your ATOM feed however does not display because you used a double <a href=".." title="" title=""> title attribute; you need to remove that in your entry, because Atom easily complains.

So if your feed doesn't display in your RSS Reader, sadly your RSS reader is broken. Try to view your feed with Bloglines or RSSBandit...

Thanks

Well, at least I now know to check the validator. It's unfortunate that Blog Reader Express is "broken" because I was beginning to like it.
Thanks for helping.
