Trouble with RSS feed from VectorArt3D News?

Post by Rcnewcomb »

Is anyone else having trouble with the RSS feed from VectorArt3D News? I just get the message header but no content. The only exceptions are the articles on Denis Giroux and Diamon Lakes where the message contains a link to view the article.

I'm using this as the RSS feed address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/VectorArt3DNews


The RSS feed to view new models works great -- no issues with that feed. Content shows up in the messages.

Thoughts?

Hi Randall,

I will ask our web guys to take a look into this and see if its something at our end (its probably something I forgot to do!)

Cheers,
James

Randall,
As I suspected its my fault :) - turns out I have not been putting the info in all the places its supposed to be when I add it to the site. In the next few days or early next week I will put some time aside to sort it out... Apologies for this - thanks for the heads-up. Hope the West Coast is treating you well?

Cheers,
James

If you do it the same as you 've set up the New 3D Models feed that would be great.

The winters are certainly milder than in the midwest. I'm looking at serval different shops that have CNC equipment but haven't carved anything since last July.

Hi Randall, sorry about your CNC deficiency, I am sure you will find a cure soon though. I did find out that the RSS problem is not only my fault after all and there is an issue where the links have not been posting correctly which was nothing to do with me! This should now be fixed but I am not sure if we can do it for the old stories. In which case this page on the site will help for now: http://www.vectorart3d.com/index.cfm/press.htm - next week I will take a look though and see if I can do anything to refresh the old links so they are updated.

cheers,
James

If people aren't using RSS feeds they should really give them a try. I'm able to follow 23 different blogs using RSS. It saves me the pain of having to visit all 23 sites every day to see if new content has been added. The feed shows which blogs have new entries and I can quickly scan titles to see which ones I'd like to read more about.

Here is an introduction to RSS: ->Link

Many people like Google Reader to handle their RSS subscriptions. I use the RSS Feeds feature in Outlook. Most browsers support RSS as well.

The news feed on 1/24 still did not have content or links. :cry:

The RSS feed for New Models is working perfectly. :D
