Feeds I unsubscribed from

weblog.cemper.com:
I cannot even remember when last this thing validated correctly, Sauce Reader, Sharpreader, Newzcrawler, nothing will view it. Does people not check their own RSS feeds?

The Story of Feedster:
For ages now the RSS links provided on the frontpage of this blog all return one word - "hi" - this is a blog by a company that specialises in a search engine for RSS feeds, you would think they would get it right?

London Underground Diary's Feedster built feed:
This is yet another example of Feedster just not working as advertised, introduction of RSS search by Google is well overdue! Instead I will use either the RSS feed or the Atom Feed - assuming I go back to using Newzcrawler.

Feedster Blog of the Day:
While this is a handy little function that I quite enjoy, the fact that this feed shows a entry in it as updated or new when the blog updates - not when the entry in this list gets changed - means that old stuff keep bubbling to the top and annoy me, be gone.

Hi,

I used the feedvalidtor (visible on all category pages) to validate the RSS feeds...

like

http://feedvalidator.org/check?url=http://weblog.cemper.com/a/c/hardware.xml

where do you exactly have a problem with?

kind regards,christoph

No, index.rdf does infact not validate. Currently line 47 and 49 is the problem.

If you can, please be just a little more patient with us. We've just bought a lot more hardware and are installing it. The new server infrastructure will solve a lot of the problems that you mention.

I found your blog entry via a Feedster feed, so they work at least a little. ;)

Also, the RSS URL for the Feedster Blog changed a few months ago. The new one is: http://feedster.com/blog/rss.php?version=2.0 . I hope this helps.

Scott Johnson and I found out something while discussing your problem. The Story of Feedster feed works in certain aggregators (NetNewsWire in my case) but not in the general case. We're figuring out why. We use Serendipity for our blogging software, if that tells you what our solution is.

The feed URL as advertised on the feedster blog is exactly as above, and till not to long ago - I assume till you fixed it just now - it was returning "hi", now it works.

Hi,

This feed: http://weblog.cemper.com/atom.xml seems to be working just fine in Sauce Reader. Do you have any problems? Please don't hesitate to contact us in the support forum :)

Cheers,

Victor

A default install of Sauce Reader with no extra feeds installed or anything crashes the moment you use the hotkey for skipping to the next article, that makes it useless until your next release which will hopefully fix it.

Newzcrawler still has a much smaller memory foot print.

Okay,

my index.rdf feed is valid now again... thanks... I was not aware of the many users and even had an RSS ad experiment in it for months that was not working :-(

I would prefer everyone to use the index.xml including comments to posts...

cheers,christoph
