XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

RSS Updating

Post by Grim... »

I've just added an RSS feed to my site, but my reader (er, Google Sidebar) doesn't seem to look for new information in the feed, I have to refresh it manually.

The BBC news feed is updated automatically - do I need to add something the the channel of my XML to say how often to check for updates?

Feed is here: http://www.lonford.co.uk/lonford/feed.xml

It may be due to validation errors:

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url= ... 2Ffeed.xml

When xml doesnt validate, weird things happen. Not sure if thats causing it, just saying.

Bah - it validated yesterday.

It seems to have worked overnight, so perhaps I am just being too impatient.

Thanks ;)
