IWeb Blog RSS feed no longer updates

When I originally published my iWeb blog to .Mac, the RSS feed contained all 3 posts. Since then the RSS feed hasn't updated, although I've added several new entries to the blog. I've checked the source code of the RSS feed and it only contains the original 3 posts.
Any suggestions for getting the RSS feed to update?

Follow-up post. Strangely, when checking ths RSS feed from IE at work, I see the new posts in the source data of the feed. So this is not an iWeb problem, but probably related to the more general RSS update issues within Safari.

Rss:PubDate gives too much info to iWeb Blog RSS feed

Hi All!
Blog pages are setup in iWeb, and I've got an external "bot" that subscribes to the RSS feed from the blog. I'm grabbing the feed and stripping the {rss:pubDate}, {rss:title} and {rss:description} fields from the feed to re-format for posting in a discussion forum. (Note: no copyright issues here, as I write the blog, publish the feed, and host/admin/moderate the forum.)
I'm wondering if the {rss:PubDate} field can be stripped down to include less information in the feed? It seems the PubDate is derived from the date and time of the blog post that's feeding it. ie: I enter 12/28/1993 in the blog entry "Date" field... the RSS feed comes out with the date I entered, AND the time of day and GMT offset the post was created. I don't need the time of day and GMT offset in my forum post headlines... is there any way to put less information into the {rss:PubDate} field via the blog entry page in iWeb? I'd like my {rss:PubDate} field to read "12/28/1993" instead of "12/28/1993 04:23:57 -0800"
Ideas?

Bonjour
For RSS feed, iWeb only use the URL you write in the Site Publishings settings. Make sure that you've written http://thesnugglycactus.net/ and not https://thesnugglycactus.net/
But I don't really think that you wrote https, otherwise RSS feed would not be your only issue.

Blog rss feed is buggy?

Has anyone had luck creating a blog rss feed? When I look at my rss feed in Safari it shows an small image and text for each entry. When I click on the image, instead of linking to the entry page, Safari opens a full sized image.
You can see this at: feed://rss.mac.com/kevinpackard/iWeb/The%20Packards/690A4A1C-A190-4DF0-B0B2-635 DD508F304/rss.xml
I think it's a bug, but thought I'd run it by the forum here before I file it as a bug with Apple.
Thanks,
Kevin Packard

I had set the webpage URL to www.server.edu/~login/ when I was asked after choosing to publish the site, and when I clicked on the RSS button all I saw was a white screen with some broken images and a few bits of text. When I changed the URL to www.server.edu/~login/blog/rss.xml, it now works correctly.

IWeb empty RSS Feed?

Hi there, i am on the most current Version of iWeb, now i realized that my Blog RSS Feed is always empty, i click subscribe and Safari says there are no items, checked the XML File abd it is empty, my Blog has already 10+ Entries, but none of them are visible in the Feed, anyone an idea?
I publish to MobleMe with iWeb...

And again, I suggest that everyone report the bug via the Safari "Report Bug to Apple..." selection under the Safari menu.
Pastor: Tech Support does not code the interoperability between say iWeb 09 and Safari, or iWeb 09 and internet browsers. IWeb's issue is probably a bug in their code. Tech Support can only guide you through 'user error' issues, or workarounds within user accessible software and hardware.
Since this issue is more global; i.e. everyone's site was working one day and then not the next, it is a coding or server side (how the code is executed) problem.
NOTE: the "Report Bug to Apple..." selection under the Safari menu DOES NOT SAY: "... Safari Bug ...". I predict that if enough "Report ..." via the Safari menu, Apple's software people will start talking to each other and resolve their interoperability issue between iWeb and internet browsers (Safari).
Calling Tech Support is only going to get someone who will work through a troubleshooting script. If the troubleshooting documentation they have doesn't cover interoperability between the web development software and the internet browsers, then everybody is stuck until someone dares to report it as a bug. When Apple's other programs get a bug reporting feature directly, I'll be happy to utilize that feature, but until then Safari's Reporting link allows you to send both a screenshot and the web page code so that someone on the coding side of things can see that this needs a fix.
Thanks Bobby!

RSS Feeds have stopped updating

Recently my RSS feeds have stopped updating.
Maybe post 10.4.5 Combo update (have run twice)
Once feeds have been read they do not update. Tried deleting safari prefs, syndication folder.
This cures for the first initial update then all feed stop again.
Anyone have any ideas ???
Cheers

Simon,
There is a lot of information on this problem in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1498326&#1498326
It has been around since 10.4.4. For many of us (me included) the problem seems to be having .Mac bookmark synching turned on. If you have bookmark synching turned on, try turning it off and seeing what happens. Also, some people are reporting that changing the sync frequency from "automatic" to "every hour" (or presumably the other settings would work, too) corrects the problem as of 10.4.5. It would be nice, of course, if Apple would just correct the problem altogether.

IWeb Blog- RSS not updated for new Comments?

Hey gang-
It appears that Comments added to Blog entries on an iWeb site do not appear in RSS updates to that Blog. Is there any way to make them do that?
Thanks!

Blog RSS Feed won't work

In my application if the blog appears on the restricted page where login is required "Subscribe to RSS" link gives the error as below.
Safari can't open the page "feed:xxx.xxxx.xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/-/blogs/rss". The error is: "The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format." (PubSub:2) Please choose Safari > Report Bugs to Apple, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
RSS Feed loads correctly in on MAC Firefox.
If the blog appears on the page where login is not required, RSS Feed loads correctly in MAC Safari also.
Is the feed processed differently in both scenarios described above? Is there a way to make it work?

Ok...
You are running 10.6.2 according to your profile. Download and install the v10.6.3 Combo Update
Then repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Blogging RSS feeds

Hoping some one can cast some light on this problem. I have this website created in iWeb'08.
I have used a blog section for some news items, however when I click on the RSS feed I get the following error:
Safari can’t open the page “feed://www.belmonthousestud.com/belmontsite/successstories/rss.xml” because it could not load any data from this location.
Now the strangest thing is that link appears to operate fine when clicked in either Firefox 2 or Internet Explorer 7!
I have tried Safari 2 and Safari 3 beta. Strangest thing is that the podcast feed works!
(Link to problem page)

HAHAHAHAA!!!
I know your problem EXACTLY!!!
Here's what you need to do...
Go to your domain name provider (go daddy?) and have them switch the forwarding to:
web.mac.com/KeithVaugh (or whatever your .mac (apple) log-in name is. If you had the same forwarding before it will have all sorts of ugly stuff after it that isn't needed anymore.
If this is godaddy you'll need to wait about 15 minutes or so after the fact.
Then...
In iWeb08... choose the FILE - Personal Domain settings... this will open your internet browser...
Follow the prompts and CANCEL your personal domain. Don't worry about the warnings. -- if you keep your forwarding on at your domain provider you will still get hits/redirects at the www site.
Quit iWeb and restart
Then at the bottom of iWeb you will no longer see the [email protected] (www.belmonthousestud.com) with the green light... you should only see your email.
All will be good!!!!
Worked for me
Best luck,

RSS Feeds Do Not Update

I'm not certain when this happened, exactly, but Safari no longer updates the RSS news feeds to which I'm subscribed and no longers puts in parentheses the number of new articles. This is bookmark bar-wide. Yes, I've checked to make certain the RSS Preference is set to do so (I haven't changed it). I even deleted a few of the Folders and recreated them with the RSS News subscriptions. No joy. I'm running Safari 2.0.3 (417.8) on a G4 Powerbook with 1GB of RAM running OS 10.4.4. The only software I've installed/changed has been the upgrade to iLife 06 and iWork 06. I'm competely stumped on this one.

Timothy,
I recently posted some links which were apparently helpful for another poster:
This fix worked for :nathan:
Guy Parrot tried this.
Enter "Updating RSS Feeds" into the Search Discussions" field on this page for more suggestions.
I can usually cure the problem by changing the All/Today/Last Seven Days/This Month/Last Month selection in "Recent Articles."
;~)

Old podcast rss feed no longer exists, do I need to creat a new podcast show for new rss feed?

Hi,
I have an established podcast (Tommy Unit Live) but the RSS feed is no longer valid. Do I need to request a new show (set up a new show) to update with the currect RSS feed?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Tom Meehan

Do you mean that the old feed no longer exists and you don't have access to the server to replace it? In that case your best hope is to email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to transfer the iTunes Store's attention to the new feed: give them the ID number or the URL of the Store page, and the URL of the new feed - check this beforehand by subscribing manually in iTunes (from the 'Advanced' menu) so that you are sure you are dealing with a working feed.
They've just done this for someone else so hopefully they will do it for you: the alternative is to start again from scratch and submit the new feed as a completely new podcast (you would need to change the title slightly or you will be told it has already been submitted).

RSS Feeds are not updating in Mail

For a few weeks now my RSS feeds in Mail have not been updating at all. The settings for checking and updating RSS feeds have not been changed.
Is this a mail issue or an ISP issue?

I know this thread is almost as old as I am but I'm speaking to the folks who may encounter this question through a web search.
Are you running network filtering software such as Little Snitch? That should be the first thing to check. The settings on the software (whatever it is you're using) could be blocking the feeds.
I use Little Snitch and if I have "Silent Mode" turned on I don't receive any RSS feeds. There may also be a connection here to any anti-virus software you have installed. An aggressive setting in anti-virus software might be preventing RSS feeds from updating.
Hope this helps.

IWeb-created RSS Feed - How to Modify keywords?

I have a podcast with 2 episodes that have been approved by iTunes, but they are still not showing up in a Search. I keep reading about people entering keywords into their RSS feed to help .... but how do I do that? Remember I'm using iWeb. Thanks.

Hi -- I use iWeb too and had a lot of problems trying to let it generate my rss file. Finally I downloaded the program Podcast Maker and that works just beautifully. The latest version even tracks uploads of your audio files for you. The one problem is that you need to ensure that you upload the rss file to the proper folder on your server (it's in prefs but does not default to where you might think). Good luck!

RSS feed no more update

Hi,
I have 2 macs in my home with the same problem.
All the rss feed i have bookmarked don't update automatically.
When i delete the pref file "com.apple.Syndication.plist", Safari update the rss feeds one times but not all 30 min like i have defined in pref.
If someone have some experience about this problem.
Thx

Welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
Try deleting Safari's preferences file which is named "com.apple.Safari.plist". Quit Safari first. The easiest way of getting to the file is to put the filename (without quotes) in Spotlight. You will get one entry. Click on "Show All" and you can then drag the plist to the trash. Restart Safari and reenter your preferences. Let us know what happens.

TB1.5 gives invalid RSS feed for pkg updates

Because I couldn't get the feeds updated I had to remove them and add them again. AUR ( http://aur.archlinux.org/rss2.php ) works fine so far.
But the http://www.archlinux.org/rdf_feed.php feed is always rejected:
http://www.archlinux.org/rdf_feed.php is no valid RSS-Feed.
Just klicking the RDF symbol in Firefox brings:
XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: Präfix nicht an Namespace gebunden (=prefix not bind to name space)
Adresse: http://www.archlinux.org/rdf_feed.php
Zeile Nr. 24, Spalte 3:
<dc:date>2006-01-18T07:44:37</dc:date>
--^
Can you fix it?

I get a "There were errors while parsing this feed! " with liferea but it still displayed the feed. There's something wrong about the archlinux feed. I think it has been reported in the bug tracker or mentionned in the forum/ML. I would suggest submitting a bug report unless it's already been done.
