Podpress: I can't validate my RSS feed for podcast (2 posts)

    I posted this in the plugins section but then realized it might be better suited here.

    I hope I don't sound too ignorant, I searched but couldn't find a topic that addressed this. I am very new to podcasting and hope this question isn't stupid. I am using podpress and I can't get the feed to validate. I have updated the directory that contains my media files and was under the impression that podpress would create the feed for me. The feed URL listed in the "Standard Settings" section in the "Feed/iTunes Settings" menu says http://www.doganddeuce.com/?feed=podcast but when I press the "validate" button, I get this message:

    Sorry

    This feed does not validate.

    Server returned HTTP Error 404: Not Found [help]

    I have the podcast file (I have only done one episode so far) in the directory listed in the "URL of media files directory" in the "General Settings" menu. What am I doing wrong? Is there something I missed or did I not do something properly? Any help is very much appreciated!

    I have 2 websites I use WordPress for, the one I am having trouble with is http://www.doganddeuce.com

    No problem. But an important thing is to use the right tags e.g. "podpress" (what you have done).
    There is a RSS feed (http://wordpress.org/tags/podpress?forum_id=10) which includes all posts of this forum tagged with the tag "podpress" and if some one writes a post with this tag somewhere in the forum, it is very easy to find.
    If a post has no tag, it is very hard to find because the forum search seems to return the search results not ordered by date (or maybe I do something wrong?).

    The answer to you question is here http://wordpress.org/support/topic/429336.
