Are embedded sponsor codes causing you RSS feed problems?

Wish I could...other than the new blogs I'm working on, I don't use sponsor feeds in my posts (only on pages) so this was pretty much news to me and I'm glad Toby came up with a hack for it.

Not to single any sponsor out here but I have noticed it's pretty easy for your aff ID to get lost with Nubiles.

Currently I have 35 sponsors with RSS feeds listed on my resource site: only 7 validate fully and 10 don't validate at all.

I have been able to use Nubiles despite the feed validating with a warning, but one thing I have noticed is that when you include several feeds which don't validate fully, there seems to be a cumulative impact.

Which is why I suggest people should start by validating their own sites and feeds, then start by adding the sponsor feeds which do validate and only after that begin trying the rest: one at a time, testing your site (and feed validation, if it concerns you) after each addition.

Click the link TPat gave, then add that RSS feed to a feed reader, no code. Or hit the home link from that page, his affiliate code is now gone.

Made some changes and added the affiliate code to both the home and feed links on all pages. How does it look now?

Also changed those two things that were producing warnings when validating.

Yep, it seems fixed and just in time for me to release my new teen blog.
