Can't Find RSS Feed (5 posts)

    Hi,

    I figure something is staring me in the face & I just don't see it. I have created many blogs using a similar set of tools and then use my rss feed to feed my twitter account BUT my last site just won't play ball....

    I have sites ( i Have a static front page on my blogs so all the new data goes to a page called BLOG)

    http://collegejersey.football-goodies.com/blog/

    there are postings here but when I click on the RSS feed or meta I get an empty feed

    I have similar site

    http://washington-redskins.football-goodies.com/

    which appears to be fine.

    I had been looking at some of the FEEDBURNER plugins and must confess not too sure exactly what is supposed to happen. I have checked the include folder and all the feed*****.php's appear present.

    Appreciate any help (will start to go back over the installation)

    feeds are meant to be read in feedreaders. dont rely on the browser to "see" your feed.

    View your course on your feed page:

    http://collegejersey.football-goodies.com/feed/

    see it? :)

    it is there -- however,

    its got an issue:

    You also have what looks like extra stuff in that feed -- see lines 41-43 below the linked error at line 39.

    That might be valid, but I wouldnt want it in my feed, and I wouldnt read one if it had it.

    Thanks.

    I don't quite understand. I use a plugin that takes a CSV file and creates scheduled posts.

    When I open Validator above it highlights line 55

    6. The following lines are affiliate links. Other sites I have included text files with articles.

    These type of affiliate links (in this case ShareaSale) have been used successfully and without problem elsewhere. You say you would not use them in your feed (I assume you mean the lengthy affiliate links) - is there something that you think is wrong with these links?

    Sorry if I am a little long-winded but trying to find a solution.

    I just dont like ads .. and especially dont like to serve ads to regular readers, which as far as I understand would include subscribers to my feed.

    its a personal thing; I realize lots of people dont agree with me.

    --

    the line # with the error has changed, btw, from when I looked earlier.

    that looks like it might just be an issue with the errant opening <p> tag.

    see the <p><p> at that line and immediately below?

    thats bad.

    find the source of the first <p>, fix it so the extra one isnt there, and than re-validate.
