Hi
I have use the following rss feed in Stick
(http://www.iwonderdesigns.com/):
http://www.sciam.com/xml/sciam.xml

When I set it up first two weeks ago it worked fine. Then it stopped
working last Sunday for no apparent reason. When it should be
refreshing, I get a "could not parse" message.
Two facts make this occurrence strange:
1. Other rss feeds work fine for me in Stick
2. The very same feed that doesn't work for me in Stick, works
perfectly in Bloglines.

Can anybody help me understand this (or direct me to an appropriate
NG)?

TIA
Paul

I had a similar problem myself with my own site's feed. I ended up
going to Feedburner (www.feedburner.com/) and creating my own
Feedburner feed, using my site's feed.

Somehow, Feedburner "cleaned up" whatever was wrong with the original
feed, and this Feedburner feed version works fine in any RSS reader I
tried.

Hi James UK
That's fantastic!! Worked perfectly for me despite the fact that, as
yet, I have no idea why.
Sounds like something that should be very useful to have in the
arsenal.
Many thanks for the tip.

No problem. I've no idea either as to why it fails / works, but I had a
brainstorm and tried approaching it from another angle... ;-)

Glad to have helped.

Regards.
