I've tried to aggregate my wordpress feed through two different aggregation scripts. Both times I get these Â's popping up after every period. Anyone know why or how I can remove them? |huh

Only one I use or have tried is magpie, never saw any problems, with wordpress or other feeds.

I just added your feed to RSSXXXFeeds with no problem

Thanks guys. |thumb

I guess I'll have to look at Magpie again. From what I recall it was a kinda overly robust for my needs. Oh that, and the instructions were 404 last time I looked.

Ya it's sure not very user friendly. Your not missing much, there was'nt much as far as instructions, wish there was more. I've only used it for simple feed draws. I could send it, what little there is if you want.

FeedWordPress (http://projects.radgeek.com/feedwordpress) is the easiest plugin for this tht I have come across. But only about one-quarter adult feeds actually verify (http://www.carpejugular.com/rss-feeds/) so that might be your problem...

All that said... quote: "aggregate my feed". You are talking about pulling in third-party feeds and not about making your feed available? I assume so since WordPress generates your feed for you.

But if you do mean your own feed, then the first step would be to validate it (http://feedvalidator.org/).

Preacher, I'm pulling your feed in on XXX Blog Feeds without any problems.

PM me if you want, I'm not a magpie expert but may be able to point you in the right direction. Let me know what your trying to do.

No, I'm actually talking about pulling my blog feed -- that has no trouble being pulled by at least 5 aggregators -- onto another domain that I run. Similiar to how I'm pulling AVN's feed here: This Depraved World (http://www.thisdepravedworld.com/).

Thanks for the offer Walrus, I'm making this my weekend project so you may hear from me then. :)

I really haven't a clue about rss, but I managed to install a script called feed2js that uses magpie and spits out a java code that allows you to display the feed pretty much anywhere. I use it to pull a blog feed to this page (http://www.planetofporn.net/) and also for sponsor feeds.

It looks like their site has gone belly up, but if you want to try it I still have the zip. I tested it on your feed and it worked just fine.
