RSS News feed question

Why can't I see any of the small pictures on the RSS News feed? They all have a little question mark in the center of where the picture is supposed to be.

@egapart. Are you looking at Google news?
With the feed "Google News" it's partly Google's fault, partly Apple's.
In the RSS feed, Google provides to the browser something not 100% standard; the link to the image in the Google feed is
   <img src="//nt1.ggpht.com/news/tbn/EVRrcIItcrqKMM/6.jpg">
The "http:" is missing! Although that link would (by accident) work as is, Safari checks if the link starts with "http:" and if it doesn't, adds (in this case wrongly) "http://news.google.com" in front of it. The resulting links is then
   <img src="http://news.google.com//nt1.ggpht.com/news/tbn/EVRrcIItcrqKMM/6.jpg">
That link does not exist, and hence the image is not displayed.
The question: Should Safari change or Google?

  • OTN RSS News Feed Corrupt

    Hi.
    The OTN News Feed contains 3 stray "-" characters throughout the document. These are visible from IE, which still manages to parse the document, but prevent some XML parsers from working.
    Please correct the document.
    Cheers

    Hi.
    I have a question. How are the RSS news feeds generated?
    I don't want to sound narky, but I don't understand how basic structural errors like this can occur unless the pages are written manually. Content is only as good as the writer/editor, but structure is determined by the program so mistakes like this should happen rarely. I've seen approximately 6 in the last three months, some of which I've reported on this forum.
    My homepage (http://www.oracle-base.com/Index.asp) uses the OTN RSS news feed so these problem stick out like a sore thumb to me.
    Perhaps you should schedule a job to validate the output of these feeds daily.
    Cheers

  • Where did my RSS news feed go?

    After upgrading to Mtn Lion, the RSS news feed in my menu bar is missing.  How can I get it back?

    I for one used Safari RSS nearly hourly because I travel international and it is sometimes the only way to stay in touch with things.  Sorry that one of my most used items is missing.  Definitley not happy about now needing to pay $4.99 for 'reeder' or anything when previously it was no cost.  Plus, I'll have to now have another 3rd party Google reader account allowing Google another way into my MBA.  To say nothing that if this comes through Google there are many countries where I travel that limit Google's reach and the reeder if blocked.
    If you do use a 3rd party RSS reader where is it going to show up?  Menu bar?  Desktop?
    BTW, where to you send comments to Apple about items they cut from 10.8.  In this case it is a problem because many countries block certain news items.   Something that worked with Safari because the link was different than using a specific news reader.

  • Creating RSS News Feed of a BC Blog

    Hey guys,
    Thanks to these forums and Liam Ive been able to learn so much about webdesign, but became stuck again (at another very obvious thing I believe).
    The thing is, Ive got my blog on BC up and running and the RSS feed also, but how do I go about creating an RSS News feed and displaying the newest posts in an iframe?
    I am aware of some third party services that are able to do that, but i'd like to learn another way.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the replies guys,
    So sorry I wasn't clear enough:)
    What I am trying to achieve is that I made a blog with BC catalyst and would like to show the newest post in some sort of News frame on my site (made in Muse) which would update automaticaly (and I understand this is done with the help of the blog's RSS feed?).
    I have been able to do that with a third party online service, but they always show "Powered by ...." or some other stuff, which isn't ideal.
    Take care!
    Martin
    EDIT: Also, if it would be possible, I am using the Blank Widget Composition in Muse which shows a frame and a number of tabs below it. The frame shows a content and changes depending on which tab U click. Now Im probably asking too much, but do U guys think it would be possible to show the newest post by clicking on the first tab, second newest post by clicking on the second tab, etc?
    The only thing I could think of would be to tag number the posts and then somehow substract 1 from the newest post. So let's say the newest post is 150-1=149 so after clicking on the second tab it would show 149 and so on for other tabs.

    How can I access my favored RSS news feeds in Mountain Lion (10.8)? They worked faithfully fine on a previous Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6)!

  • RSS of FEED question?

    I am trying to add the "startting pitchers" of a baseball
    team to my website. I see many sites are using this same info on
    their site but I can't figure out how they are doing it. The source
    seems to be the team's homepage. I have an RSS feed already for
    news but I am not sure how people are getting the starting pictures
    headshots and stats for the upcoming games.
    Here is the website that the info comes from:
    www.redsox.com (its the portion on the right with the
    pitchers heads, and stats.
    Here is a site that uses the same info:
    www.bornintoit.com
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Thank you!

    The content (including images) can be "syndicated" using RSS
    web feeds all
    right but not neccessarily so. Content can be syndicated
    using client-side
    JavaScript or other methodologies such as an XML Web Service.

  • Mistake in OTN RSS News Feed

    Hi.
    The second item in the OTN News Feed titled "Web Services Development Made Easy" has an incorrect anchor definition which makes it appear as text rather than a link. To be precise there is a whitespace between the "<" and the "a".

  • RSS News Feed Down

    The OTN News Feed is down again. I've tried to contact OTN about this problem but I can't get through so I'm hoping someone there will read this and sort it. The resulting XML document is missing [link] tags making the document invalid. It's been unavailable for about 4 days now which is pretty poor!
    Come on OTN, get your acto together!

  • Facebook News Feed Question

    How do I remove or HIDE a story that appears in my News Feed on my Apple Ipad2?

    Using the app it's hard if not impossible to do. Using safari, if you tap on a link in the post once, it brings up the ability for you to access the menus you're used to on a computer. You can then access the little box on the upper right part of the post to hide the story.
    If it's a sponsored post you may not be able to hide it even then.
