  How do I get these RSS feeds to work? : http://scorpiusdiamond.wordpress.com/
  They’re from 20six and they’re not working :s

  Some specifics please? I just pulled in your feed for your blog and it worked fine.

  Ahh, I meant the RSS feeds I put in the sidebar. One is working but the two others aren’t…

  I do note that neither feed validates. Note sure if that would be causing the issue though.

  Although both pull in fine over at BlogLines.

  Neither one pulls up though on my test blog though.

  Hmmmm….

  Let me send in a Feedback for you with a pointer to this thread. My knowledge with RSS is rather lacking. I know some forms of RSS the widget doesn’t support but I can’t even figure out which method is being used here.

  Some RSS oddness has been seen and noted – it’s being worked on :)

  We recently implemented a new feed parser that didn’t fully understand RDF feeds such as those two. Now it does, and they appear to work just as they should.

  Cheers!

  I’ve had problems with the RSS feed in my sidebar for the past couple of days. It works off and on. Right now, it’s not working. In fact, when I click on it, it takes me to my blog and not the feed. Is there something in the new parser causing this problem as well?

  Vivian, I was having the same problem yesterday and solved it this morning. What was happening for me is that I had put in the url to the feed as “feed://the_url_to_the_feed”. I changed the feed:// to http:// and it works now.
