If any of you were reading on the RSS feed and stumble back here wondering why nothing has shown up lately, it’s because WordPress doesn’t publish its feeds the same way Blogger did, so you will have to resubscribe to the site with the link at the bottom of the sidebar on the right. Sorry about that!
And if Blogger ever does start to publish correctly again, I’ll try to get a post out on the old feed to tell people to come over to the new one. I have no idea if or when that will ever happen though, the way things are going!
Hey,
I just tried subscribing and got the following
XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location: http://tudorhistory.org/blog/feed/
Line Number 2, Column 1:
Using Firefox on a MAC OS Leopard.
thanks

Thanks for that… I’ll have to look in to it. I’m also on Leopard and I saw the error too when I tried in Firefox (I usually use Safari)… which is strange considering things are usually the other way around!
Try clicking on the RSS icon in the address bar and see if that works. I’ll still try to fix the other issue, but that might work in the meantime.
Hmm… I tried clicking on the RSS icon in the url/address bar and Firefow tried to save an application to disk.
‘You have chosen to open
which is a: application/atom+xml
from” http://tudorhistory.org
What should Firefox do with this file?
Open with [choose]
Save to disk’
My other RSS feeds are working so this is probably just another bump in the transfer. Odd
I looked through the WordPress forums and help pages last night and it turns out that I’m not the only one seeing this issue. Unfortunately, none of the suggested fixes seem to work. It’s possible that it is something in WordPress 2.5, which is relatively new, but I’ll look through the code a bit more over the weekend and see if I missed something last night.
I did notice something in the code that was *supposed* to compensate for the “blank line” problem in Mozilla-based browsers, but that obviously isn’t working. Some browsers apparently compensate for the “blank line issue”, but obviously others don’t, which is why it is fine in Safari, but not in Firefox. I’ll have to try it with a couple of browsers on one of the loaner PC laptops in my office at work… I’m curious to see what happens.
Not to worry.
