Most i've noticed that most skins are forgetting to add:


<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS 1.0" href="<?php $Blog->disp( 'rdf_url', 'raw' ); ?>" />


To their heads, including 1.7s custom skin.

Is this for a reason, or just laziness...

Define 'most'. It's in every one of the 1.6 skins I looked at, and in the CVS version of the custom skin, though I did not check every skin available for 1.6 users or every skin available through CVS. title="RDF" though.

BTW there is a forum for CVS-related issues, unless you're seeing this in skins for versions prior to 1.6.

Hmmm ok i just actually looked at the code and yes your right, i was checking by clicking the RSS symbol in Firefox, it seems Firefox only likes feeds that start with Atom or RSS as:

<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RDF" href="http://localhost/site/b2evolutionCVS/blogs/index.php?blog=1&amp;tempskin=_rdf" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="http://localhost/site/b2evolutionCVS/blogs/index.php?blog=1&amp;tempskin=_rss" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS 1.0" href="http://localhost/site/b2evolutionCVS/blogs/index.php?blog=1&amp;tempskin=_rdf" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="http://localhost/site/b2evolutionCVS/blogs/index.php?blog=1&amp;tempskin=_rss2" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom" href="http://localhost/site/b2evolutionCVS/blogs/index.php?blog=1&amp;tempskin=_atom" />

The RDF Feed does not apear, but the RSS 1.0 feed does.....

And i posted it here because i noticed it for all skins, i just used 1.7 as a example.

I see what you mean. I'm using FF1.5, but I use Sage as my feed reader. When I click the groovy FF icon it won't show me the RDF feed, but when I ask Sage to find feeds it finds all 8. Funky thing is Sage tells me that RDF is RSS 1.0, which it is, but it's also RDF. A test would make sense I think. Simple stuff: change the title in the link in the header to RSS 1.0 instead of RDF and see if FF can see it.

Slightly Related: I've sometimes found webs with feeds that either FF or Sage or both can't recognize/find. When Sage doesn't find it I have to beat it about the head and shoulders to get it to take my word that a feed exists. Weird, but that's life in the land of syndication I guess.
