# RSS…Where do I begin?

 * Keeping in mind I have only been at this a week ( blogging, css) if someone wants
   to use my rss feed to place the news stories on their site, how is this accomplished…(
   in as close to laymans terms if possible).
    The RSS passes validation, unfortunatelyn
   the XHTML does not ( I don’t know the effect of this, but I’m working on it) 
   The site was gaining in popularity and has been a big change for the better. 
   Any assistancew would be appreciated. Thanks!

 * I think it might be tricky for you to advise others on how to add an RSS feed
   of yours to their site as it will depend upon how their site is set up.
    If it’s
   a wp site, they could use David Chait’s CG-FeedRead: [http://www.chait.net/index.php?p=85](http://www.chait.net/index.php?p=85)
   This looks fairly okay too: [http://www.feedroll.com/rssviewer/](http://www.feedroll.com/rssviewer/)
   As for your validation: [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalterroralert.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&ss=1&verbose=1](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalterroralert.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&ss=1&verbose=1)
   Line 150 you have another DOCTYPE declaration and effectively the start of a 
   brand new page within the exisiting one. The error there is caused by the ” characters
   so they would need replacing with their ascii equivalents before the validator
   can get any further on error reporting. If you are keen to have full validation–
   and why not – then I don’t see why you couldn’t do your site completely using
   CSS. I would suggest though that you do all the initial setting up and testing
   of layout on a hidden test install of WP. You don’t need your site breaking as
   it becomes more visited.

 * Well you might be surprised how many WP installs some of us are running. Any 
   excuse – and in goes another. That way we can all experiment whilst keeping our
   public face in some semblance of order. A plug in test bed for things like rss
   is really handy. If you not breaking it then you are not doing it properly 🙂
   Good luck.
