Hi, I've written my own RSS feed for my personal photoblog, but for some reason feed readers will not detect updates to my feed! They will however load the feed and the feed does validate...<br /><br />Could anyone in the know take a look at my feed and the response headers and see if you notice my error??<br /><br />The feed: <a href="http://photos.riehl.ca/feed" target="_blank">http://photos.riehl.ca/feed</a><br /><br />The Response Headers:<br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->Date: Mon, 09 Oct 2006 05:35:24 GMT<br />Server: Apache<br />Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT<br />Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0<br />Pragma: no-cache<br />Last-Modified: Sun, 08 Oct 2006 17:37:23 GMT<br />Etag: "240af17993da1f24172417e2f109bece"<br />Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />Everything is based on how wordpress does feeds and headers. When I test my wordpress feed in my reader, the updates show immediately...<br /><br />Thank you so much for any help!<br />-Trev<!--content-->
I've never tried generating my own feed but there are a couple of free RSS generators available for download at <a href="http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/webpublish/fwblogtools.html" target="_blank">Snapfiles</a>.<!--content-->
