23rd World Will Fix Your RSS Template
We missed this over the break, but 23rd World has a great article on fixing your ExpressionEngine RSS feed.
I began investigating the fascinating minutia of RSS when I couldn’t find a reasonable answer in the EE forums to why Google Reader was re-posting every updated post on my site even thought the entry dates hadn’t changed. As I went through the prevalent templates floating around the EE community line-by-line I noticed several things that could be improved upon. The only critical fix, in my opinion, is removal of seconds from the dates in the
section. If you want your feed to validate you’ll want to add the atom namespace. The rest are optional improvements.
If you’ve had these same problems, read this great article for knowledge and a solution!
