Jonathon Delacour the heart of thingsI tore myself away from this:
to implement this:
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="XML" href="http://weblog.delacour.net/index.rdf" />
Checking it with fyuze, yielded the following error message:
could not find any content at http://weblog.delacour.net/index.rdf. please try a different source
My link looks identical to Burningbird’s, except that Bb’s works perfectly whereas mine doesn’t work at all.
Guess I should have stayed on the mountain.
There's a nicer solution to the problem of using named character entities in RSS than switching to character code numbering. Include the RSS 0.91 DTD at the top of your RSS template:
[uhh, I hope that doesn't get filtered out]
..and all valid HTML character entity names should magically work. At least, it worked for me when I had the same problem a couple of weeks back.
Posted by: zem on 3 June 2002 at 04:24 PMDang, it did get filtered out.
Another try:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE rss PUBLIC "-//Netscape Communications//DTD RSS 0.91//EN" "http://my.netscape.com/publish/formats/rss-0.91.dtd">
If that doesn't work, you can see the DTD in use in the "Example RSS 0.91 File" section of this page:

Isn't it fun being an early adopter? :)
