W3C feed validation fails

[W.W. Webster]

I submitted the URL of my SmugMug site for validation of the RSS and Atom feeds by the W3 and was surprised it was rejected with this diagnostic (http://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/error/ObsoleteNamespace.html). I can't get recognised on another listing site until I can get this sorted out. Is it a SmugMug problem, or mine? :dunno

You need to give a direct link to a feed, not the link to your account :thumbThanks Ivar, meaning? :huh

[W.W. Webster]

I go to this help page (http://www.smugmug.com/help/rss-atom-feeds), but the instructions seem to cut out at step 3. What do I do with the URL?

http://www.rosscollins.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=nickname&Data=rosscollins&format=atom03 or http://www.rosscollins.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=nickname&Data=rosscollins&format=rss200 are examples of feeds. You can find them near the bottom of your pages. Just copy the links given to you in the feeds section.

Hope this helps.

Hey Ross,

http://www.rosscollins.smugmug.com/ is a link to your account, but http://www.rosscollins.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=nickname&Data=rosscollins&format=atom03 or http://www.rosscollins.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=nickname&Data=rosscollins&format=rss200 are examples of feeds.

Hope this helps.Thanks, but where do I put them? Sorry to appear so dense! :wink

Thanks, but where do I put them? Sorry to appear so dense! :winkI'm a little confused here. You were trying to validate the feed, no? Try this one: http://feedvalidator.org/

[W.W. Webster]

I'm a little confused here. You were trying to validate the feed, no? Try this one: http://feedvalidator.org/Get the same problem (http://feedvalidator.org/docs/error/ObsoleteNamespace.html) plus another (http://feedvalidator.org/docs/warning/UnknownNamespace.html)!

[Andy]

Get the same problem (http://feedvalidator.org/docs/error/ObsoleteNamespace.html) plus another (http://feedvalidator.org/docs/warning/UnknownNamespace.html)!
did you try the feeds that Ivar linked? They're both working fine :dunno

[W.W. Webster]

Get the same problem (http://feedvalidator.org/docs/error/ObsoleteNamespace.html) plus another (http://feedvalidator.org/docs/warning/UnknownNamespace.html)!The validation problems are reported with atom but not RSS.

But what should I be doing with those feed links in my customisation, if anything? You're dealing with an absolute novice here! :D

[ivar]

Ross, what is your goal here? :ear
