code RSS Feed Fixed

Posted at 6:33 pm MST to Code

This was fun. It turned out that the dates that were going nuts were for the first 9 days of the month: the days with single digits. I must have originally validated the feed format late in the month, when all of the articles on the front page had two digit days.

Once I figured out the pattern of the problem, it was not difficult to fix the date parsing and printing.

The W3C validator for RSS is happy now.

code Atom Syndication Feed

Posted at 8:17 am MST to Code

It looks like the Atom syndication feed has been broken for a while. I think I have the problem fixed now.

The RSS feed seems to be picking up insane dates, so it is broken, too. This may be a side effect of the reformatting last week, though I don't think I changed anything that should affect RSS. I'll try to fix that this evening.

I had both of these feeds validating at W3C at one point, and plan to get there again.
