{{chris}} If you’re running a blog and you run into a problem with your RSS feed – validate it first before you start looking around for possible causes and solutions.
Apparently the last post I made caused my RSS feed to not validate properly. Unfortunately FireFox would not show an error, and IE just crashed outright (no surprise there). So I turned to Google and started looking for answers. What I found was not answer but the beginning of where to look! Everyone with a feed problem was starting off by validating their feeds. So I tried that through http://www.feedvalidator.org and voila – it showed me precisely where in my feed the issue was. Although I was not able to detect precisely what the problem was with my content, but I re wrote it and the problem went away!
So there you have it. If you’ve got an RSS feed problem start by validating your feed first!
