Guest Jack_the_ripper Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Alright, I just started a podcast, and I don't really know too much about RSS, so I tried my best creating an rss feed (view it here.) Anyways, I'm following what it says on the apple page, and it says to go to podcasts in itunes, go to advance tab, type in the url of where the rss feed is (as posted above) and to see if it reads all the stuff properly, I did that. But it gives me (!) symbol as opposed to the orange symbol I'm supposed to get.I wanted to know if somebody could look at the coding, and tell me what I did wrong, cause I can't figure it out.Thank you.

kevin Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Maybe. Post it here with [code.] tags, minus the period, or PM me. But I'm not familiar with RSS but I can take a look Quote
Max™ Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Does the XML file contain the correct iTunes tags so iTunes can read such an RSS feed? Quote

Guest Jack_the_ripper Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 max, I'm not sure, apples site isn't clear as to what itunes wants outside of <itunes:summary> even though it says <description> should work fine. Quote
