My software for displaying entries from your site is particularly sensitive to errors in the XML feeds from where those headlines come.

I’m aware that some of you have put your feed in (and others have yet to do so) and your headlines are not showing up. That is due to errors in the feed. I’m aware of about 6 of these, so 6 out of 100 isn’t too bad, but it also may be slowing down the members page.

I’m going through this week each and every member to make sure your feed is in and make sure (to the best of my ability) that it works.

Sometimes feeds work in your aggregator, but not here. Generally, I’ve found that if a feed does not validate, or even validates with errors/warnings, there’s a good chance it won’t work here (and potentially not work elsewhere, depending on the application).

This is the service for checking on the validity of your feed:
http://feedvalidator.org

I might also suggest you use a service like feedburner. It’s free and it has diagnostic tools as well as some interesting traffic statistits.
https://www.feedburner.com

Feel free to drop a line here in the forum or the contact page if you have any questions or need help.

Uh, guess I need help.  My site doesn’t seem to validate, but then I may not know what my proper feed URL is either…

Honest, I’m better at the hardware end of computers.

I’ll check it out, Susan.

I’ve gone through every member’s feed. There are a couple of issues but the vast majority of you have your feeds in and they work fine. I’ve updated the blogroll and the headlines to get those feeds.
