intertwingly

OK, that works nicely. I have to say, I was initially confused by the direction to “follow the instructions at the top of this page.” I looked on the HTML page itself, and the feedvalidator.org documentation, for such instructions, before realizing that firefox had been nudging me with one of its little popdowns to register the feed reader.

I like the concept, though, of utilizing the pluggable feed reader in this way. It makes validation much simpler.

Handy, thanks for the tip.

I’ve updated the instructions to clarify that I’m talking about the popdown that appears above the page itself.

(I assume I cannot post this as an actual link here.)

Aristotle: my experience was that such links would fail due to some check ensuring that the source of the link matched what was being registered.  As such, I simply added some surrounding HTML and committed the result to SVN.

Ah, nevermind.  What you posted was a bookmarklet?

Yes. :) I guess should have been less cryptic.

Adding the validator as a feed reader saves a step, though. (With the bookmarklet you have to bring up the feed first.)

Funny that [link] fails the validity check.

Hi, Aristotle. That bookmarklet won’t work for feeds whose URL contains an ampersand. I believe this modified version fixes that bug:

Good catch! The bookmarklet is older than my awareness of encodeURIComponent().
