Dave Winer Approved RSS 2.0 Templates

Authored by Michael Pate on June 23rd, 2003 at 1:17 PM

Mark Pilgrim is developing a RSS 2.0 template for Movable Type, documenting his design decisions as he goes. Nice work. His guid element is not a permalink, which is totally valid, and his is the first feed to do that as far as I know. - Dave Winer, September 26, 2002

There are several design decisions at work in this template that bear explaining. - Mark Pilgrim

Alexander Barnes Dryer put together a template for Movable Type that generates nice not-funky RSS 2.0. - Dave Winer, June 23, 2003

These are some later attempts.

But the real RSS 2.0 Validator — namely Dave Winer — will have to let me know if I’ve got it right. - Brad Choate

I gave Brad’s Non-Funky MT RSS 2 Template a try but it was still too funky for my aggregator, which choked on the resulting feed. - Andrew Grumet

Now that I’m becoming familiar with Movable Type for reasons I can’t talk about yet, I can wade into the long-running controversy over the software’s default RSS 2.0 template. - Rogers Cadenhead

It will be interesting to see if any of these succeed or other attempts will have to be made.
