I just started a blog with Serendipity and everything is working fine except the rss feed

At http://www.blogstreet.com/rssdiscovery.html I get Invalid RSS feed.

Can somebody take a look and help me get it fixed

Hi!

You will need to talk to the guys at blogstreet.

Your RSS-Feed as well the <link> metadata for autodetection is correct:

http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi? ... index.rss2

I see no issues with your RSS2.0 feed...you could try to switch "XHTML 1.1 compliance" to "on" in your s9y configuration, maybe blogstree needs this...

Well the one I'm having problems is the RSS1, Does the RSS1 looks fine?

I'm triying to get the RSS1 to work in a vbulleting forum I go to and its not working. I was thinking its the RSS1 feed ( it don't support rss2) but it can be the forum


Thanks

Ah okay.

Yes, the RSS1 feed seems to have issues. Try this patch by editing your rss.php file:

Code: Select all

Index: rss.php

But RSS 1.0 is really somewhat dead and not commonly used; I'd suggest you to use the Atom feed or RSS2 feed where possible. RSS2.0 is the default feed, in any case, for the meta element of serendipity.
