RSS & Atom feeds aren’t another webpage; they’re special XML files that your browser doesn’t appear to know what to do with. Have you tried viewing your feeds via a feed aggregator?
You can verify there’s nothing wrong with your feeds by using something like Feed Validator. If there’s something amiss in the xml it should be able to tell you. Otherwise (though they may not seem to) things are functioning normally.
Nothing’s wrong: http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.joliesonline.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-atom.php
That is how atom is supposed to function. If a user wants your atom feed, they just plug the atom feed URL into their feed reader. http://www.joliesonline.com/blog/wp-atom.php
I have the same problem. the thing is that i would like to put a link on my website to the atom feed. so wehn people click it it will open the save dialogue which is not good. No work around for this?
The rss2 and rss wordpress feeds also point to a php file but they will show corectly in your browser and not open the save dialogue. Why?
Because your browser is not how you “read” an atom feed.
People using atom feeds use them from RSS Feed Readers.
I don’t know a lot about feeds, but couldn’t you simply burn your feed with feedburner.com and put a link to that, that will bring up a nice viewable page through feedburner.
If this is a stupid suggestion please disreguard it completely. lol.
its not a bad suggestion. i thought about this already but dont want to do this for this blog. any other ideas?
Nobody uses ATOM feeds, really. Stick to RSS, that’s my advice. Just remove the link to the ATOM feed completely.
