RSS

For those that read this site using an RSS feed, I’ve added a padding   to the title line as I had heard from the Uborkans that the three full stops at the beginning of my title were breaking the feed in some readers. I’d be grateful if someone could let me know if this makes any difference. I’m rather fond of my three full stops (not really a proper ellipsis), so I don’t really want to remove them. However, if it continues to be a problem, I may replace them with a couple of …s.

    I think the new title has borked your RSS feed…

    Well, it works in FeedReader.
    Further reports welcome.

    If I try to open the RSS feed in Firefox I get the following:

    XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
    Location: http://www.grayblog.co.uk/wp-rss2.php
    Line Number 9, Column 9:  …grayblog…

    It is too late to get technical but I believe this is something to do with   not being defined as part of the XML standard. Or something.

    You could try using either &160; or &xA0; instead.

    See, I just come to the page. That way I get to see the lovely changing header images, AND admire the ellipses in your title field.

    Being a Luddite is good. I’m so proud.

    OK – I’ve now got a   – let’s see if that works.
