I’d like to do the same thing.

I would like to display this additional user information in a few places… maybe even welcoming the logged in user in the header.

I’ve tried to search this forum, but since the redesign the search seems to return nothing I need.

Same problem here. There is lots of threads on the topic, but none that I can see come to a resolution on the problem.

I’ve been messing with this for many hours now, and I think I finally have an answer for at least my situation. I’ve been trying to add the custom tags in my feed for itunes 4.9 and that seemed to be causing the problem. So I went tag by tag to find out if it was a problem with just one of them.

So after a little more investigation I’m finding that the RSS readers just don’t like the custom iTunes tag <itunes:link>. Any feed file that includes that tag will not be included in any auto discovery.

I have no clue how this works, I’m just posting here so people smarter then me might have it in their brains.

ok I’m totally stumped. No matter what I do on https://www.toonfinder.com the auto discovery will not find the RSS 2 feed. I’ve tried newsfire and Sage… but only firefox finds the RSS 2 the others return the RSS .92 and ATOM.

Any ideas on why this is happening to this site?

ok this is strange… FireFox can see all the feeds, but Sage omits the RSS2 no matter what the code looks like. very strange.

Thanks for the explination, but I’m still a little confused then.

If I do the same operation on my personal blog https://www.rustinjessen.com it comes up with all the feeds, including the RSS 2.0

I’ve tried to make all the links on both side bars the same, but it still comes up with different feed options. Any idea why they might be different?

I’m having this same problem.

I have the folowing in my header

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />

but when I use auto discovery in RSS readers only the atom and comments rss shows up. it totally throws me off since the comments RSS is not even referenced in the header.

can anyone help me?

the site in question is https://www.toonfinder.com/blog

Hi Damage:
the live search is the same one that is used over a BinaryBonsai. I just chopped a bunch of what seemed to me like needless crap out of the code and fit it into the sidebar with CSS. I’m by no means a coder so I wouldn’t even know how to build something with AJAX ??

Basketball:
Thanks for the nice comments.

I know it was doing some stupid things in IE on win2k, but they seemed to go away on thier own. very strange. anyone in the PC world able to send me a screenshot?

any opinions at all?
on the live search?
on the layout?

Ok I’ve made the edits to my rss2 document, and all the tags seem to show up correctly in the feed, but iTunes is still not displaying my image.

can somebody check this out for me?

ColdForged Thanks so much for that info. I’ve been casually messing with that for a few days and you just made it all fall together for me. Thank ya!

site5 is looking really appealing! They seem to really have their ducks in a row.

thanks for the suggestions. i’m getting some good info.

I know this is an old topic… and there is the WordPress hosting reccomendations. But I would love some more feedback from folks who are working day to day with hosts. I’ve had between 13 and 25 domains and ay given time all on HostForWeb, but I’ve been dealing with really spotty service lately.

Anyone have good recomendations on hosts?

While I agree whole heartedly… When I started I wish someone would have told me what to look for.

once I saw the effect those little hints had… I moved on to learn more. It helps a lot more to give some info and give the resource for more info.

kinda like a weenie for people to follow.
