RSS problem?

[Big Smooth]

Seems like the GottaDeal RSS feed hasn't updated in a week or so... is there a problem with it? Or is it my reader? (it doesn't seem like that's the case because other feeds look fine...)

The one at http://www.gottadeal.com/rss.xml ?

 

Looks updated here. In fact we use the RSS feed to display the last 20 deals on the main Black Friday page, and that's been working fine as well.

Hmmm, must be my reader then. I'll delete the feed and reload it and see if that helps.

[Big Smooth]

Yeah, for some reason, it works fine with Sage (an RSS plugin for FireFox) but the "RSS Headlines" feature of my.yahoo.com hasn't updated in 2 weeks.

 

No biggie, must be Yahoo's problem.

I have a live bookmark in FF of the feed and it never updates either

Someone who is having problems, try this URL:

 

http://www.gottadeal.com/rss2.xml

 

According to FeedValidator.org, it is valid:

 

http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://www.gottadeal.com/rss2.xml

Yeah, it's been working fine with Sharp Reader.

Original RSS seems to be invalid, now. The RSS2 link works great, though.

[Brad]

Yeah, I switched it to RSS 2.0.

 

When we launch the new site design, we'll see about having other feeds in addition to this one, and will include the deal descriptions in the feeds as well.
