I have a script that has been modified from one that I found on the internet
to display RSS feeds in html. The script works fine for most RSS feeds but
there are a number that it fails on with the error "End tag 'head' does not
match the start tag 'meta'".
Does any one on here have any experience with this? The script is shown
below, the Neowin feed works but the google feed does not.
Any help would be appreciated.

RSS doesn't have meta or head element types.
Do you mean the HTML that you are creating gives this error?
If so, it's because you are trying to parse HTML with an XML parser.
Original HTML is in SGML syntax, not XML, so <meta...does *not*
end with a /as it would in XHTML. If you're trying to output XHTML
then you need to make sure all EMPTY element types *do* end with />

Hallo list,
I don't know if this is a apropriate Newsgroup for this thread but I found it via
google and there are already some RSS question in here so I'm just asking:
I have written a RSS Feed which fetches the list of new Extensions for the CMS Typo3
(www.typo3.org) and stores them in a database. Whenever somebody requests the RSS Feed
the Feed XML is generated out of the database.

Total newbie here for this so please be patient.
We manually update our XML feed when we publish an article on our
website. Can we add a javascript tracking pixel (from phpadsnew) into
the XML file to track how many times our feed was accessed? Just to get
a rough idea how manyh subscribers we have?
Not sure if copying and pasting a javascript into the XML source would
work.

Hi all,
I work for a classified-type site and am planning on having an RSS
feed for each category. I understand the basics of RSS, but I can't
decide how often to update each RSS feed.
Each category will probably have several new listings every hour.
What's generally the recommended update frequency for an RSS feed?
Also, in each update, do you exclude content that was in previous
feeds, or do you leave it up to the reader to sort out...
