Call Me Al

My MozBlog

I have an update to setting up an RSS feed in blogger. The timezone needs to be specified correctly. I recommend setting that blog to GMT and the coding your template to match. Set the Date format to "8/8/2003 01:34:45 PM" as well.

This is what I put for each entry

<title>entry title</title>
<link>link to the entry</link>
<description>entry description</description>

But when you post it in Blogger, it argues about the <title> tag. Click cancel. Even if you did Post & Publish before, you have to click Publish again. I've reported the bug to Blogger, but no response yet.
