      I made a couple of quick modifications that may fix this. I see what the problem is -- that particular article uses an angled apostrophe instead of the normal straight apostrophe. It's a legal character for the RSS feed, but it appears your reader wasn't interpreting it right. I've added a few cues that may help the reader figure it out. Let me know if it works now.

        The RSS feed doesn't show up properly in Internet Explorer 7.0. It complains of code errors.

            Sorry, the message I gave was pretty much the one I was given. It wasn't too informative.

            It seems like you managed to fix it in any case. Bravo!

              Aha! The last fix I made was a stopgap. This time I think I found and fixed the underlying problem. Guess what -- it was yet again Microsoft "extending" a standard in their own proprietary way.

              Anywho, the angled apostrophe now shows up right, and the problem shouldn't happen again.

                Didn't try again at work, but clicked on it at home and got:

                There is more than that, but didn't want to cut and paste the whole thing. I use IE 6.0

                  That actually means it's working right. =)

                  You have to right-click on the XML icon and copy the address, then paste it into your RSS reader. Depending on which RSS reader you use, it may have some way to integrate with Internet Explorer and automatically discover the feed. The specifics will vary a lot from program to program, and I have very little experience with RSS readers in general, but if you tell me which program you use, I'll see if I can find a way to make it work.

                    Ahh, k. Thanks. I have no experience with RSS, so thought something else was supposed to happen. Hehe.
