RSS Help?
Posted by Gordon Smith

Our RSS feed is not validating, and I don't know why. We are using the Typepad default template, which has been working, but it suddenly isn't validating. Here is the error message from Feed Validator: "dc:date must be an W3CDTF date."

Our template contains the following code on that line:

<dc:date><MTEntries lastn="10"><$MTEntryDate format_name="W3CDTF"$></MTEntries></dc:date>

Looks ok to me, but my knowledge of this is remedial. Any suggestions?

Don't know MT's template format, but it might be that too much is inside the tags... Try wrapping them tightly around just the $MTEntryDate element:

<MTEntries lastn="10"><dc:date><$MTEntryDate format_name="W3CDTF"$></dc:date></MTEntries>

HTH,

Thanks for the suggestion, but that just resulted in a different error.

Look like it's working now, yes?

Cori, The short answer is "yes." Late last night, I decided to ask the Typepad folks for help. They told me to change the "lastn=10" to "lastn=1" and that worked. I had been told to change that to "10" for reasons I have forgotten. Anyway, this seems to be working. Thanks for asking.
