RSS Feed Not Validating
3 followers

I'm unable to validate my RSS feeds using Feed Validator, and therefore can't pull feeds from my pages to a feed reader. Here are 3 feed URLs for the same groupsite that should be valid, but are not:

http://dailygrind.groupsite.com/rss/discussions
http://dailygrind.groupsite.com/blog.rss
Any ideas?

This is why I ask. I'm trying to build an iPhone app for that groupsite using AppMakr.com. Check this out...

Brian - We tweaked some formatting and you should find that these are now validating.
And thanks for sharing AppMakr. It may be an easy way to help iPhone users find and enjoy your Groupsite. We'd be interested to hear more about how you find this works for you.
I am also having problems getting our feeds to validate. What do we need to do?
Yup. I have the same problem. The RSS feeds have stopped working.

I emailed support days ago and didn't hear anything.
Hi, Rebecca - We took a look at the feed link you sent to support. Because your feed is from a private groupsite, it will require user authentication (entering a user name and password) Also, I found this page:
http://www.google.com/support/reader/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78730
"Google Reader doesn't currently support authentication for private feeds that require a username and password to view. Such feeds will appear to be empty or missing if you try to subscribe to them."
I usually use Firefox as my web browser, and it does let me read RSS feeds from my private Grousites (it just prompts me to enter a User Name and Password to see them). It looks like they also have a plug-in you can download, called NewsFox, that lets you group feeds. Outlook 2007 may also have a RSS reader that can subscribe to authenticated feeds, see this link: http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/03/27/authenticated-rss-feeds/.
Deepak - we've also written to you from support requesting more detail so we can help.
