G’day!

My client's RSS feed is valid but with errors I do not know how to repair ; can anyone lend a hand? Thank you!

Doug Arnold

1. How do I fix the "self" link reference in line 12?

2. How do I eliminate the style tags (10) in line 14?

FEED Validator
FOR ATOM AND RSS AND KML

Congratulations!

This is a valid RSS feed.

Recommendations

This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

line 12, column 145: "self" link references a non-Atom representation: application/xml [help]

line 14, column 0: description should not contain style tag (10 occurrences) [help]

Remove the styles... RSS is not the place to have styles in.

How? How and where do I do that, please?

I didn't put the code there in the first place.

That is the problem.

Thanks, but unfortunately, that answer was not helpful at all.

When you say "my client's RSS feed", don't you mean the feed of your client (a person with which you have business relations) - a feed, the source of which you have direct and full access to (i.e. you can not only see it, but edit it)?

This is my client's feed:

http://feeds.feedbur...hePaceOfService

I cannot edit his feed; so, I do not understand your question.

I can see his feed. He is saying that when he shows a "Summary" column for his feed, that CSS code is getting embedded in the "Summary" column.

I am a complete newbie when it comes to this stuff. I'm simply trying to help him get the embedded CSS out of the "Summary" column.

Again, I have no idea how it got there OR how to remove it.

Gratefully,
Doug

It looks like the feed was published with feed burner. He needs to take it up with them.

(bottom line is that an edit needs to be made... whoever is in control is responsible for doing it)

Thank you, good sir; I will seek help from the feed burning people.

Gracias,
