Ah, I think I figured it out: Your software has two separate RSS feeds, the one I bookmarked several weeks (or maybe months) ago - which is broken - and the one that currently pops up in your journal - which works. Both appear to be active and updated. The broken one is http://www.nobody-knows-anything.com/atom.xml The working one is http://www.nobody-knows-anything.com/index.xml So you may want to shut down the former one, maybe with a final entry which points people to the correct feed URL.

Well, this is weird — I finally launched NKA RSS in Safari (had to figure out how to turn off the “go directly to NetNewsWire, do not pass Go” pref, which turns out to be in Safari and not NNW (duh))…and it looks fine to me. All the HTML is rendered correctly (that is, links are links, font faces are rendered in italic and bold). And I’m using Safari 2.0.1 under 10.4.2.

Thanks, Diane! I’m glad you like NetNewsWire.

Hmmm. It looks fine to me in NetNewsWire. What are you using?

The code I have in the template points to index.xml (RSS 2.0) and atom.xml (Atom), which are automatically generated by templates that came with MT

I’ll go look at those templates…

And now I’ve looked at them and don’t understand any of it, so any help would be great.

By the way, your journal’s RSS feed has been looking wonky for several weeks now – when I view it in Safari, all of the HTML shows up literally, rather than being rendered. Yours is the only RSS feed of several dozen I read which exhibits this problem, so ’tis passing strange…
