I had some problems with RSS due some bad UTF-8 encoding.
The Author TAG was also incorrect because it was like:
<author>name <
[email protected]></author>
But i’ve found in
http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss that the correct format is:
<author>
[email protected] (name)</author>
Now the RSS validates on the W3C validator at
http://validator.w3.org/feed/.
Thanks for this great snippet and i hope this improvements will be useful...
