Changing RSS Feed in iWeb

I use iWeb'09, GarageBand and MobileMe, and want to find out how to simply change the existing RSS feed for my podcast series in iWeb without resorting to using any further applications.
Many thanks in advance.

You can edit the RSS feed in any plaintext editor.
Or leave it to iWeb to update the file.

If the file you're editing has an ".html" extension, then this from TextEdit's +Help viewer+ may be relevant:
If you want to work with an existing HTML file, choose File > Open and select the file you want. Be sure to select “Ignore rich text commands.” When you save the file, it remains a “.html” file.
...And there are other places where important selections are made for HTML files:
In TextEdit's Save dialogue, select "HTML" from the +File Format+ menu.
In TextEdit's +Preferences > New Document+ tab, select +"Plain text"+.
In TextEdit's +Preferences > Open and Save+ tab, select +"Ignore rich text commands in HTML files"+.
XML is not HTML your last post is irrelevant you should know what you're talking about before providing recommendations.
Is this a late April Fools joke?
funky_ben,
You do not add XML data into an html file it should be inserted into an XML file look over the iTunes tech spec page provided unfortunately reading comprehension is required.

RSS feed on Iweb

After I've published my site I cant get the RSS feed on Iweb to work. When you click on it, nothing happens. How do I fix this?
here's the page so you can see what I am talking about. www.kellistwocents.com

RSS feeds don't do that - if they add the feed to an RSS reader (including Safari or FireFox) they will see new updates every time they check: but sending them emails on each added episode would require extra programming in the actual program, which iWeb doesn't provide. You would need to have a mailing list and send out an email manually each time you add an episode.

Make RSS feed with iWeb, personal domain name

I have a question I jus can't figure out, even asked at an Apple store today in Minnesota.
I created my website with iWeb, simple to do and used my personal domain, http://www.jannetwalsh.com.
I just can't figure out how to create the RSS feed.
Do I need to place a feed file in the public file where I "house" my site? Any suggestions would be great. I am learning and would love to learn more!
Thanks,
Jannet

iWeb is being phased out. Suggest you put your efforts into something you don't have to redo right away.

RSS Feed on iWeb Issue

Using: iWeb ver 3.0.3
I'm having an issue with RSS Feed button on my Blog Page after the site is published.
When a vistor press the RSS Feed they get ... Error 404 not found
Essentially the page that iWeb is sending the user to is
http://www.website.com/site-name-on-iweb/Blog/rss.xml instead of ...
http://www.website.com/Blog/rss.xml
The same issue appears when you try to view the website the site-name-on-iweb appears instead of the user being sent to ...
http://www.website.com iWeb takes you to http://www.website.com/site-name-on-iweb
Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks

Hi LPopoff,
Per my knowledge, there is no difference for Form library with the RSS Feed.
Please clear the cache in Internet Explorer(IE) and then check the results again.
It seems that IE has cached the feed data and display the result the same as the original one.
Thanks,
Victoria

Wrong time zone with rss feed in iWeb

I'm using the RSS widget in iWeb, and all the RSS items are nine hours off - meaning they're on California time (I'm in Norway). The time zone is wrong even when I look at the feed in iWeb, so I don't think it's a server issue (and I'm not publishing to MobileMe).
I've found a couple of other questions about this on the board, but no answers, so here we go again... anyone? I've tried several different feeds.

Same question! There must be some command-line hack to fix this. Any one figured it out?
It's posted times in USA Pacific time by default (GMT -8). This is iWeb 3.0.1.

RSS feed with iWeb

Hi there,
Can i add RSS feed onto my iWeb site?
www.echoplexe.com
Thanks for your time.
Martin

It looks like your site http://www.echoplexe.com is hosted on a 3rd party server, right? So right now what you are doing is doing a "Publish to Folder" in iWeb and then uploading the site files to your server, right? Well, next time you "Publish to Folder" take a closer look at the file dialog window that opens. At the bottom of that window there is actually a field for you to enter your domain so that iWeb can put the RSS feed in there for you... just type in http://www.echoplexe.com/ in there and I think you'll see your RSS feed after you upload.
If this is useful information to you, please do me a favor and mark this reply as "solved" or "helpful" using the little buttons in the title bar of this reply. I would appreciate it immensely. Thanks.

Changing RSS feed from Podcast Garden

We mistakenly has Podcast Garden support our RSS feed to itunes. The service is the bare minimum but trying to contact the site owners is impossible.
It makes me wonder why they would offer this free RSS service? Anyway, I am signing up for libsyn and I need to change the feed, I read the tutorials and I can't save the feed change on PodCast garden. Is there another way to change this or do I need to ask itunes to take down the podcast and resubmit with the need RSS feed. I appreciate any advise to can give. Thanks

Please contact me - rob (at) libsyn (dot) com - I can go over your options with you.

Changing RSS feeds and a broken feed

Hey everyone. I'm changing the RSS feed for my podcast, and am wondering how to bring down the old stuff from the other RSS feed. I'm also having trouble with this new feed, iTunes keeps saying that it is having trouble downloading the episodes. I tried so many different things to try and get it to work, and I'm certain that what I have now should be working. If someone could take a look at my feed and let me know what I have to change, that would be great!

Thanks a bunch,

Your Store page is at https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/drunkards-and-dragons/id602663440?mt=2
The Store isn't using the feed you linked to, but the one at
http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/34731626-drunkdnd/tracks
This has three episodes, all of which play in the Store and the two I checked downloaded on subscribing.
Your feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/drunkdnd has four episodes; it can be subscribed to manually in the Store and the episodes download OK, so I'm not sure what the problem is. However this feed uses different episode media URLs; they are hosted on archive.org and are using https rather than http, and although the iTunes application handles them when subscribing it's possible that the Store itself is baulking at them. It would be better if you could provide a direct http URL to the files.
If you want to move the Store from using the soundcloud feed to the feedburner one you will need to add an 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag to the old feed, containing the URL of the new feed. The process is decribed in detail here:

Help - Changed RSS Feed

I was hoping someone could help me with this issue I have.
I have been using Libsyn for about 1 year to push my RSS feed to iTunes. It worked like a champ. My website is www.bowcast.com and my RSS feed was www.bowcast.com\rss.
Recently, I have redesigned my website and moved it to a new server. My website is working fine. I re-submitted my RSS feed to iTunes about 10 days ago (new feed - http://www.bowcast.com/index2.php?option=compodcast&feed=RSS2.0&nohtml=1). I have the following issues:
1) iTunes has not been updated. It still has the old RSS feed, and my users are getting an error that the "old" RSS server could not be found (which makes sense because I have moved it. Therefore, my latest episodes are available on my new site, but not in iTunes.
2) I actually want the "old" iTunes submission (i.e. the old artowrk that I submitted over a year ago) to be taken down and the new RSS feed with the new artwork be posted.
Does anyone have any idea what I could be missing? I contacted Apple support and they suggested I start here.
Any help you could provide would be greatly apppreciated.

It still has the old RSS feed, and my users are getting an error that the "old" RSS server could not be found (which makes sense because I have moved it. Therefore, my latest episodes are available on my new site, but not in iTunes.
By submitting a new URL to iTunes (if you become approved) you have in effect created a duplicate listing in the Store of your podcast. The new URL doesn't have any connection with your previous listing . . . so your old listing will be the way it is forever, unless you still have access to Libsyn or you send in a request to get the listing removed. Also, none of your old subscribers will know about your new listing unless they specifically go looking for it.
It looks like what you wanted/should have done was to put in a redirect in your Libsyn feed so that you didn't lose any subscribers, and didn't create a second listing in the store. I would still recommend trying this if your new listing hasn't shown up and if you still have access to Libsyn.
As for your second question, when/if your new feed is approved, it will contain your new artwork and any new elements you have put in your feed.

Editing XML/RSS feed in iWeb to input all neccessary information for iTunes

I have been trawling through a lot of the other posts but don't seem to be able to find an answer.
Basically, i have successfully created my own page to host my podcasts and i have had my RSS feed accepted by iTunes. I can now view my podcast from the link the iTunes staff sent to me, however i am unable to find it by typing the name into the search bar. I have read in the podcast help on this forum that it may be because i have to add 'key words' to the XML as this is what the search tool uses to find the podcasts but i am unable to work out exactly how to do this. I have found my XML page and attempted to insert some lines using TextEdit but this just appears to corrupt my feed.
If anyone has had a similar problem and knows of a solution, it would be greatly appreciated by myself.
Thanks for reading :o)

RSS feed INTO iweb account

I can't use the blog in iWeb because I live at school and the IT department has a firewall up all over campus. So I use livejournal instead. I'm wondering if there is a way to feed my livejournal into my iWeb, or at least have a link at the top that goes to my livejournal, without having to create an entirely new page within iWeb.

Have a look at this Mail Chimp tutorial

RSS Feeds Persist in Inbox

Hey;
I'm having a fairly strange problem. All of my RSS feeds persist in staying in my Inbox even though I have selected certain ones to be hidden from the Inbox. Has anyone seen this and if so, what was your resolution?

Reading other related posts, tried removing the Info.plist from one of the RSS folders in ~/Library and no change; RSS feed still appears in the Inbox
Technically, it is appearing in a Smart Folder I made that shows only Unread messages of type Mail, yet still seeing thousands of feed articles.
Is there a way to manually set a message to type RSS?

Using RSS Feeds and Podcasts

I've spent some time trying to figure all of this out but for some reason I can't quite grip how it all works, and how to do it. If anyone knows of any links that would help me how to create a podcast and use the RSS Feeds in iWeb, that would be great. Or if anyone knows an easy way to explain it.

Hi Josh,
I'm having similar problems as you -- I created a website on iWeb, and made a podcast in mp3 format that I put on the site. I wanted to submit the RSS feed to iTunes, so the podcast would be available through the iTunes store. But neither iTunes nor Feedburner recognizes the URL for the RSS feed. I'm wondering if I got the URL wrong, or if iWeb's automatically-generated "Subscribe" button doesn't work, or what. Any tips? Whatever happened with your podcast? I've spent hours and hours online trying to figure this out. Thanks!
