Validating a Feed
You can use an online validator to check the syntax of your feed and make sure you haven’t made any typographical or syntactic errors.
Figure 25.20. The Open Source FEED Validator is a valuable tool for finding errors in your RSS (and Atom) feeds. Just type in your URL and click Validate.
To validate a feed:
1. | Upload your feed to your server.

3. | Type in your feed’s URL.
|
4. | Make any corrections necessary until your feed validates.
