Hey, first off I'd like to say I'm very pleased with XHLD, I've been using it for a few days now and it's doing exactly what I wanted. I am having a problem trying to add a specific feed, which can be found at the following url...

http://www.smirkingchimp.com/backend.php

Is it possible to have XHLD display this feed? I'm really new to the RSS thing, and I tried changing the encoding but that didn't make a difference. As all the other feeds I've tried have worked just fine I'm inclined to think it's just this feed. Any RSS/XHLD experts out there with a suggestion? Many thanks!

Have you clicked the link?

You can see no xml.
It's obviously a problem of the site.

Great, thanks, that's what I thought. The text was similiar to the other feeds I've added, so I thought I might be missing a setting. Happy Thanksgiving!

I think XHLD is a bit too strict in what it will pull for a feed and what it will not pull or ignore.

Try to make this feed work:

http://www.gizmodo.com/index.xml
http://www.gizmodo.com/index.rdf
http://www.gizmodo.com/atom.xml

(and a few others)

Maybe I've done something wrong which is likely (should be a no brainer) but XHLD will not pull this feed for any version of the RSS/XML/Atom available. XHLD is running to strictly. I don't think it can be expected that everyone in the world will have a perfectly formatted RSS/XML/Atom feed. And if I can use this particular feed in a dozen other aggregator/readers then it's quite possible it should work in XHLD as well.

Example of my site using zfeeder and the above mentioned feed:

And here is my site using xhld which I gotta admit is strict, but sweet
