Topic 4- Testing your feed and Troubleshooting

I had a little trouble with my RSS feed. It actually worked fine in an aggregator. The subscription worked. Itunes was a different story all together. Remember that was my initial goal here! There are 2 things that helped me solve my issues.

1. Test your feed in itunes. Follow the Link to see how to do that.

2. Try out the Feed Validator. It checks RSS and Atom feeds for compliance in itunes. It helped my solve my syntax problems!

Another "Little Gem" that I found is an RSS Feed Generator for itunes. It's not for creating your own podcast feed, but for searching for music genres. It creates a 'search feed'. What a neat little toy that's not advertised well!
