[BNM] Rss feed

[Charlie Wilson]

Hi again,

Right - my website is www.perfectlywrite.co.uk, the blog is on blogger.com,
and the url for the feed is
http://www.perfectly-write-words.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss. 

The guy who told me to set it up gave me this link
http://www.rss-tools.com/rss-to-javascript.htm. 

I've uploaded what I've managed to do myself here:
http://www.perfectlywrite.co.uk/testtest.html. It's not very pretty at the
mo, and as you can see, there are some random symbols.

I hope that helps. Any ideas gratefully received.

Charlie :)

(Sorry, more techie stuff...) I'd guess what's probably happening is the
content-type of the page that's showing the feed is different from what
Blogger is sending out through the feed, which is what normally catches me
out.

To try to get a bit clearer & move towards a fix: what language are you
using to try to show the feed? (e.g. PHP, ASP, Javascript?) 

If you've managed to show it a bit, where did you copy the code from?
(i.e. have you got the address of the page you got it from.)

Is there an example with the problem anywhere we can see?

Thanks

Paul
