why do i need an rss reader?

Well, if you want the be able to read news from the RSS feed you need a RSS reader, or if you want to read plain XML you don't. Or you can read the news with your browser using the normal frontpage, but you can also read plain HTML by using telnet. The choice is completly yours...

I'll ask about putting in a donation link ;)

I set it at 10 because that's what I've seen as the standard on other RSS feeds. My RSS client keeps up to 30 news items (more if I configure it) "cached" so I can see more, though I do see your point when there are big news days. I'll ask about 15 being the default, as that's usually more than enough if you keep your news reader open.

Very nice :)

Ditto that too...lolz...Although would it be possible to have the appropriate titles of the RSS feeds in the title part of the XML Files instead of it just saying ?Neowin?. It looks kind of weird with to Neowin RSS Feeds back to back with the same title. lolz

Hey,

Can you please make them all Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional?

Only problem is the darn Ampersands (&) in the URL.

Like always. :p

BTW its a simple fix.

Just replace all the Ampersands (&) with "&amp". :)

Pretty sure thats all the problem is.

If not anyknow how I can fix the problem myself?

Thanks,

Will

You sure. I thought XHTML is a XML vocabulary?

Mean that XHTML is written in XML.

See:

http://www.webreference.com/xml/reference/xhtml.html

And:

http://academ.hvcc.edu/~kantopet/xhtml/ind...t=what+is+xhtml

So think your wrong buddy. ;)

Well how do I get it to dislpay in correct form then?

See what I mean:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%...com%2Fdrupal%2F

Like maybe convert from XML to XHTML some how. Displaying it anyways.

After getting the feed?

Normal humans aren't meant to see the rss code, rss feed programs process the rss code to display it.

Well ok thats disapointing since all other rss feeds I have tired work pefectly fine and are all valid XHTML as well as valid XML. So there must be a simple way to fix it?

Well if not then is there a way I can re-ecode per say so that it displays valid XHTML?

I only displays links so dont know.

Anyways also see:
