Dancing About Architecture: Microfeed for "Movable Type RSS 2.0 Template"

Movable Type RSS 2.0 Template

Thu, 04 Dec 2003 11:55:19 CDT

The template that Movable Type comes with to represent an RSS 2.0 feed, while valid, can be construed as a little bit "funky" because it uses some Dublin Core elements instead of just core RSS 2.0. That's fine, but I prefer to stick to the spec if I can. Here's the template I use that seems to validate at Feed Validator: Download file Just copy and paste it into your "RSS 2.0 Index" template in MT. Remember to edit the and elements, as well as change the timezone from "CDT" in the various MTEntryDate tags (haven't figured out how to generate that from the format parameter)....

Found your weblog via Google today while looking for an improved MT RSS 2.0 Template.

Slightly disappointed by the "Download file" link not working

Would you be so kind as to email me the "index.xml.txt" file?

Thank you!

Whoops! I had blown away and regenerated the archives directory and forgot that the file was in there. The link now works ... thanks for letting me know!
