RSS feed does not verify

Question

I ran the validate but it fails on the itunes:category. I am using exactly what the examples has.
<itunes:category text="Religion &amp; Spirituality">
<itunes:category text="Christianity" />
</itunes:category>
but it says it is unbounded. So how do I fix it. I am trying update the feed with new items but they do not show up. So I verified it and found the error. Just making sure I have everything up to date so it will be updated. My feed URL is
http://pursuing-god.com/Sermons/ERrss.xml
Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

The reason the validator says that your category tags are "unbound" is because you don't have the proper declarations at the top of your feed. All that you need to do is take the first two lines of your code (that look like this):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<rss version="2.0">
and replace them with this code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0">
And everything should be fixed. Let us know if you have any further troubles.
