Jack Vinson sent me a link to this RSS feed evaluator. The site said. “This is a validator for syndicated feeds. It works with RSS 0.90, 0.91, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. It also validates Atom feeds. To use it, simply enter the address of your feed and click Validate. If the validator finds any problems in your feed, it will give you messages for each type of problem and highlight where the problem first occurs in your feed. If you're unsure what a message means, click the "help" link next to the message for a fuller explanation. Despite its relatively simple nature, RSS is poorly implemented by many tools. This validator is an attempt to codify the specification (literally, to translate it into code) to make it easier to know when you're producing RSS correctly, and to help you fix it when you're not.”
This is a useful free tool and much appreciated. The results are every quick. It said my feed was valid but found some minor errors that I contacted Typepad about. Typepad said:
"The feed for your blog is valid. The validation report is pointing out some warnings in the feed, but the warnings will not prevent your feed from being read by most feed readers. Please let us know if you have any other questions." So they were saying no big deal. Okay but if any of you have troubles with my feed please let me know. web 2.0
